Kam Lal makes a hit in Nashville with Notetracks
Summary
Kam Lal hasn’t yet gone to a Predators NHL hockey game yet, but the startup founder in town for Nashville’s Project Music Accelerator says he’ll catch one soon. After applying to Project Music last year, he was accepted into the three-month program based out of the Nashville Entrepreneur Center, in Tennessee’s capital city. Notetracks is the lone Canuck team in the cohort, with three from Nashville and one each from San Diego, Miami Beach, Chicago and Kiev, Ukraine. “A songwriter has to send the track to a producer, so she records her inspiration on an iPhone, writes her notes on a word doc, and then uses multiple tools to accomplish her task. It was always something in the back of my mind to try and produce something like this.” After graduating, Lal hunted for jobs that combined software engineering and music, but the opportunities were barren.
