Jakob Nowell and guitarist Zane Vandevort have just released the second episode of their podcast, BVRNTCAST, a companion to their newly launched independent label SVN/BVRNT.
In this episode, BVRNTCAST welcomes one of SoCal’s most iconic entrepreneurs and Sublime’s manager Kevin Zinger to the show. With over three decades of experience, Zinger has built a self-contained empire, founding SRH Clothing, multiple labels (Regime, Suburban Noize, Island Empire, Liars Club), Regime Music Management and producing feature films like the Netflix documentary Saving Banksy.
Kevin Zinger joins the conversation to dive deep into the music industry, share valuable wisdom with Jakob and Zane, and provide plenty of laughs along the way. Check out the full episode below!
Nowell and Vandervort wrote “The reason we wanted Zinger on the second episode is his background and Knowledge. He started everything with just vision and work ethic and built up multiple businesses. And the best part is he followed his passion’s and turned them into businesses. Despite the odds he managed to succeed in music, fashion, art, and film. We modeled a lot of what we are doing with SVN/BRVNT around those underground companies like SRH and Skunk from the 90’s. So having him on made perfect sense”
Zinger said “I feel like SVN/BVRNT is going to fill a hole that is much needed for today’s youth. What they are building is special. The artists, the fans, and everyone involved feels a part of it. The modern music business has lacked building genuine scenes and focuses solely on how many followers and likes you get. Jake and Zane are making a connection with people that is way beyond social media stats.”
