Ryan Leslie

Ryan Leslie is a Grammy nominated recording artist, multi-platinum producer, and avid technologist. In addition to logging studio time with Madonna, Jay-Z, Kanye West and Beyoncé, he launched the first internet pop star Cassie, who sold over 650K albums fueled by an aggressive pre-Twitter social media campaign on MySpace. Ryan is the architect and ultimate case study for SuperPhone, the simple CRM for creators and SMBs. Bravely opting to remove his latest album from iTunes, he used an inbound SMS campaign powered by SuperPhone to earn over $570K in D2C revenue from just 16K fans, a 4x multiple of royalties received on his major label debut which sold 180K copies. He holds a BA in Government from Harvard.
