With Rainbow, S.p.A. in Italy, Campion developed a musical sit-com that aired 3 Seasons on Netflix. While expanding his production chops, he directed more than a dozen music videos. Through this, Campion discovered a passion for storytelling and the birth of Media Epicenter. With eight projects in the pipeline, ranging from unscripted to interactive animation, Media Epicenter recently began production on four documentaries and will launch their first docu-reality series in 2025.
With a heart for independent artists, Music Epicenter (ME) set out to be “Hollywood’s #1 Music Portal.” Since inception, the company has been responsible for song placement in television shows on every major broadcast network, most streaming platforms, along with numerous independent films and advertising campaigns. Our management division continues to guide the careers of pop duo, Kalina & Kiana.
"The Raymies" was a youth-based entertainment project created by Campion, in which he also served as Executive Producer and Musical Director and Songwriter. As the project evolved, he raised funds for a television pilot, that he co-produced with Brillstein Entertainment and John Stamos. Unlike other "band" shows, ("The Partridge Family", "The Monkees"), these 5 young girls were a real band. In their 3 years together, The Raymies performed over 100 live show from LA to NY and recorded nearly 40 songs (written and produced by Campion). Several of the songs found their way into other television and film projects as well. Raymies characters were developed for the online, virtual world of "JumpStart", whose "Raymies" followers grew from 200K to 2M during their 2 year collaboration.
As Co-founder and CEO of Danelectro Musical Instruments, Campion directed the company from inception to international success in 60 countries and nearly $20 million in annual sales. In addition to his duties as CEO, Campion led the company's product development efforts, creating more than 30 models of guitar, 40 different effects pedals and a half dozen amplifiers.
Opportunity knocked when liquid-crystal display (LCD) technology evolved to the point of simulating analog meters. Campion joined forces with Evets Corporation to create the QWIK TUNE brand of tuners and metronomes. Old school guitar tuners with analog meters ruled the MI industry in the early 90s - selling at around $100. The accurate and disruptive QT-1 came out with a retail price of $19.95 and turned the market upside down, as QWIK TUNE products sold millions of units in the years to follow. In recent years, QWIK TUNE evolved and rebranded into today's #1 Selling "Clip on" tuner - SNARK.
