“I have known and respected Cliff and Craig for almost 25 years,” stated Concord Bicycle Music CEO, Scott Pascucci. “They have shown remarkable focus and creativity in building Razor & Tie into the company that it is today. We are excited to be their partner as they continue to grow and expand the company.”

Cliff Chenfeld and Craig Balsam stated, “We are thrilled about our new venture with Scott and his outstanding team at Concord Bicycle Music. This partnership maintains our independence and autonomy and provides us with the strategic support necessary to take Razor & Tie and Kidz Bop to a completely different level. We are energized and ready for the challenge.”
