The music that saved one during one of the most difficult and vulnerable times. The fentanyl detection kit startup that saves lives, co-founded by a mother and a son, with the bond of mother-to-son, brother-to-brother. This is the thread of today's episode, with our guest Alec Leddon, a startup co-founder by day, and a music producer and DJ by his "6-to-8".
In this episode, Alec Leddon unwraps the thread and dives into the stories of his world of music production. Colorado raised and NYC based, Alec is a music producer/artist with over 10 years of classical piano training and 7 years of music production experience. With the stage name Lil' Rocketman, Alec created a distinct style of music which spans across many genres. Some of these include Phonk, old school hip hop, EDM, bedroom rock, trap, bass music, and much more. There is the deep, therapeutic power of music, unleashing and transporting emotions with that artistic flow into artistry, in ways that connect and relate to others. There is also a sense of purpose—finding his voice, tapping deeper into that craft, touring in Europe and performing with his best friends in Hamburg, Paris, Barcelona and London.
Alec also connects the music thread with the deep mission cause he is driving towards through meaning. About 5 years ago, Alec's younger brother passed away after unknowingly taking a street drug laced with fentanyl. Since then, his mom and he have committed themselves to creating the first ever all-in-one convenient fentanyl drug testing device so other people don't have to go through the same loss they experienced. Alec is leading and growing the startup TaeSun, a public health startup that has raised over $450K and secured a federal grant to address the fentanyl overdose crisis.
Tune in to hear about Alec's "6-to-8" journey and the stories in-between the "9-to-5"! You can find out more about Alec through his personal music production and Taesun below.
