Rana isn’t like your average musician. First off, she’s a former entrepreneur. She co-founded Medialets, a mobile analytics company that has raised $10M from A-List investors. She’s also written a book, Mobilize, which will be published at the end of this year. And while she was trained in music at an early age, this is her first time as a professional musician.
It’s almost like she had the perfect mix of experience. She grew up loving music and has an ear for great beats. Yet, she’s a trained entrepreneur and knows how to leverage her talent into real, hard-earned cash. Funny enough, Rana never really thought of this as a short-term thing. She saw the vision of her evolution into a full-time musician long before anyone else did, writing a business plan and treating the entire thing much like she would treat an early-stage startup.
