OK Go frontman Damian Kulash is a rock star, a music video auteur, and a YouTube sensation--and, now that his band has split with British music giant EMI, a businessman. OK Go, whose treadmill dance video has been viewed more than 50 million times, announced in March that it was leaving EMI's Capitol Records and launching its own label, Paracadute. While Kulash, 34, doesn't harbor Damon Dash-level ambitions (Paracadute employs a handful of full-time employees and hasn't signed any other acts), he does have a bold take on the future of the music industry.
In music, timing is everything.
