Behind every (not so) great man, is a great woman, and there's definitely a woman backing up the whole Ripple machinery.Corinne serves as the heart and soul, and band mother of Ripple, helping with promotions, planning, and she is responsible for the tradition of cake being present at many Ripple events.Yes, nothing says heavy metal like cake!
How did you feel when your husband said he was starting a label?
I laughed. I knew he didn’t know anything (at the time) about running a label company, but I know my husband. Go big or go home…All I knew was I had to hold on for this ride. I support him a million percent.
To what extent did this inspire you to start Rogue Wave?
We wanted to start a label that was more of my “taste”. Plus its cool!
How has your experience with Rogue Wave informed your understanding of Ripple?
RW is still in its infant stage. It’s an imprint of Ripple.
What kind of stuff do you get to do with the labels?
I’m simply a shiny disco ball. I connect with the band mates and make them feel they are part of our family. It’s important to me.
Has working with Rogue Wave changed how you view the music industry?
View the music industry? No. Music is music. There’s a crowd out there that will dig RW.
Did previous life experience inform your work with the
label?
Absolutely not.
Hell, did you ever think you would be a record label head?
Repeat my last response
What do you think separates Ripple and Rogue Wave from other labels?
Well, Ripple is Ripple. RW has a more psychedelic, garage / surf vibe.
Where do you see Rogue Wave going and where do you see yourself going within the label?
I would like to have RW attract amazing musicians and to see these incredibly talented people reach their band goals.
What is your favorite Ripple related memory?
Me: What are you reading? Todd: A book on how to start a label co.
