Michael Arbeeny
Founder and President of 107 Productions

Michael began his musical career at the age of 16, performing six nights a week in the area's top nightclub cover bands. He was soon spotted by the multi-platinum artists White Lion, and after a successful stint as their drummer, went on to be the co-founder, drummer and manager of Geffen recording artists Tyketto.

Throughout the 1990s, Tyketto received national and international acclaim. Under his deft leadership, the band sold hundreds of thousands of records worldwide, released four studio albums, toured internationally, and had two # 1 hits on American AOR Radio. In addition, Tyketto’s hit single “Forever Young” had a five-week run on MTV's # 1 Request Spot.

As the 90's and Tyketto came to an end, Michael decided to branch out his management company, and 107 Productions was born. A celebrated icon in the business, the company's roster has expanded to include over 35 artists. Under 107's guidance and leadership, the bands perform in premiere venues throughout the east coast.

In addition to co-producing 2000+ shows a year for 107 Productions, Michael still enjoys getting behind the drums, performing select festivals in the US, Europe and South America to audiences of 20,000 to 100,000 people, as well as just "jamming" with friends in local NJ venues whenever possible. Recently, he produced and managed Tyketto’s successful six country reunion tour and continues to balance his life as both a businessman and a musician.

Scott Rush
Partner & CEO

Scott Rush has been involved in the music industry his whole life, first as a musician and now as an agent and a producer. His love for music began at the age of six when he began playing piano. A child prodigy, he excelled on the keys and delved into composition. His first love blossomed in his early teens when he performed for the prestigious New Jersey Opera Company. Those early days on the stage shaped Scott. It deepened his appreciation for creating melodic sound, while demonstrating the transformative power music has on an audience. This love for performance has never left him as he continues to perform today on a part-time basis.

Scott has toured all over the world with renowned artists. He has performed and shared the stage with Milo Z, Robert Randolph, Gavin DeGraw, Al Green, Hiram Bullock, Patty Smith, The Meters, The Neville Brothers, and G-Love. He performed on nationally recognized shows including, NBC's, “Last Call with Carson Daly”, the Jerry Lewis MDA Telethon, The Metro Channel, My9 WWOR-TV, and the NJN Network. Scott has also continued composing music. He co-produced and wrote songs that were released and published by several musicians.

2001 was a watershed year for Scott, when he took his love for music and focused on finding new talent. Scott teamed up with Grammy Award winning producer John Seymour to form the agency Media 51. As a licensed agent, he began fostering talent and booking shows all over the east coast and Europe. As a way to handle all aspects of the industry, Scott’s partner John opened up the recording studio Treefort.

In 2004, Media 51 was growing rapidly. Scott made the personal decision to stop touring as a musician in order to focus his considerable talents on the agency. In 2005, Media 51 gained the notice of 107 Productions. After a fruitful discussion the two agencies agreed to book six acts together. This went so well that in 2006 Media 51 and 107 Productions merged agencies and became one. Since then 107 Productions has become one of the largest agencies on the east coast booking well over 2000 shows a year including an amazingly successful run in the recession year of 2009.

With an insider’s knowledge of the industry, first as a musician and now as a producer, Scott is able to provide artists with the best venues for their talent.
