Syntax Creative

Timothy J. Trudeau began his professional journey in the music business in 1997. Since then, he has produced for GRAMMY-nominated artists, designed Stellar-nominated album art, released Dove-nominated albums on his own record label, and become a distribution executive with clients who have won all three. As the CEO of Syntax Creative, a digital distribution and marketing company with the exclusive worldwide rights to more than 80,000 songs, he works with over 150 record labels and countless talented artists. He has also negotiated direct deals with some of the largest companies in the world, including Apple, Microsoft, Google, Amazon, and Facebook. Trudeau’s ability to adapt and predict trends has led to him being cited by CNN, The Washington Post, ABC News, People, U.S. News & World Report, Business Insider, Billboard, Yahoo News and NPR. A graduate of Leadership Music’s Class of 2025, he continues to invest in the future of the industry through education, mentorship, and advocacy.
