Artist Tribe, a unique organization that serves the creative

community in numerous ways, is currently making waves

not only for its creative and technological achievements,

but also for its highly successful charitable arts education,

wellness and mentoring work.

Most recently the Foundation produced the critically

acclaimed music documentary, “The Girls in the Band” --

a culturally conscious film that has received numerous

awards:

Best Documentary Feature – Palm Springs International

Film Festival and Audience Award, Palm Springs Film

Festival; the Audience Favourite Feature, Victoria Film

Festival and the Audience Choice Documentary, Omaha

Film Festival, among others. The Foundation and Mr.

Greene, who is the film’s Producer and Executive

Producer, are receiving accolades for its creative,

educational and cultural significance.

As the Artist Tribe Foundation continues to work in the

fields of wellness, education, mentoring and creating

culturally significant media projects, Artist Tribe, LLC is

building technologically innovative professional platforms

to foster connections among artists and their suppliers and

customers from all different genres in exciting and

innovative new ways.

It isn't difficult to understand how Artist Tribe came to

serve its dual functions after examining the career of

Michael Greene, the organization's founder, president, and

CEO. Over the course of a career that has spanned

decades, he has built numerous companies in the creative

and technology communities. While he may be best

known for his lengthy and successful stewardship of the

National Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences

(NARAS) -- better known as the Grammys -- Michael

Greene was already a respected artist, producer, and

media entrepreneur. Since ending his tenure with

NARAS, Greene has put most of his energy into two

major and interlinked passions that were always important

threads throughout his career: fostering connections

among artists, and advocating for the use of the arts in

philanthropic ways to help the physically impaired and

less fortunate.

Highly educated and trained in the arts, Greene spent the

early part of his career as a musician and ceramicist.

While he has never stopped focusing on his own art,

Greene quickly found that his passion for arts and

business was a natural fit to advance the work of other

artists, arts associations and educational concerns across

the nation.

In 1988, Mike Greene became president and chief

executive of NARAS and he grew the Grammys from a

small enterprise into the major entertainment and cultural

institution that it is today. While he is best known for the

success of the high-profile Grammys, the work Mike

Greene did behind the scenes in that role is perhaps the

most important. He worked tirelessly for political and

social change inside and outside of the music industry.

He fought for reform in the areas of intellectual property

rights and copyright infringement. Secondly, he stood up

for artists’ first amendment rights. Additionally, he

promoted music and arts education, fought to maintain

funding for national arts agencies, and advocated for the

archival and preservation of music worldwide.

In conjunction with his work as the NARAS chief, Mike

Greene also founded Musicares to help treat artists

struggling with mental health, substance abuse and

general welfare issues, he served as the spokesperson for

the National Association of Music Therapists and was one

of the founders of the National Coalition for Music

Education and the Grammy Foundation.

Under the leadership of Michael Greene, the Artist Tribe

Foundation endeavors to provide arts-based mentoring,

education, and therapy to improve health and wellness in

society through the arts.

Remaining ever-innovative, Greene continues to lead

Artist Tribe and the Artist Tribe Foundation advancing

new artistic and philanthropic endeavors while facilitating

artistic endeavors and working to ensure that the

environment for artists around the world remains vital and

free.
