Alex Rigopulos brings a wealth of knowledge from his illustrious career in the video game and entertainment sectors. As a co-founder of Harmonix, which was acquired by Epic Games in 2021, Rigopulos played a pivotal role in creating iconic games such as “Guitar Hero,” “Rock Band,” and “Dance Central.” These games not only garnered massive popularity but also transformed the way music and interactive entertainment intersect, making Rigopulos a valuable addition to Songtradr as it aims to broaden its global presence.
Priyanka Khimani is recognized as one of the most influential music entertainment lawyers in South Asia and the MENA region. She has an extensive portfolio of work with artists, composers, producers, and music companies. As the managing partner at Khimani Associates, Khimani has represented high-profile clients such as AR Rahman, AP Dhillon, Divine, Reservoir Media, Warner Music Group, Snap Inc, and Netflix. Her staunch advocacy for intellectual property rights and creative talent aligns seamlessly with Songtradr’s mission to empower artists and rights holders globally.

Alex's visionary approach to integrating music, technology, and video games, along with Priyanka's extensive rights knowledge and dedication to the creative community, will provide strategic insights and strengthen our leadership as we continue to innovate and grow in the global music marketplace."
The inclusion of Rigopulos and Khimani to the board, which already features members Lindsay Nahmiache, Helge Steffen, and Paul Wiltshire, underscores Songtradr’s commitment to leveraging elite expertise to fulfill its mission of powering the world with music. Both new board members are expected to play critical roles in guiding Songtradr through its forthcoming phases of growth and development.
