Our Team

  • Sai

    Head of Marketing / Co-founder

    The original founder of our sister label, House Techno Authority, Sai’s creative vision for the artist ecosystem and a new kind of label feeds the roots of Next of Kin. Sai’s releases with labels like Hood Politics, Dim Mak, Space Yacht Records and songwriting credits have established his euphoric sound, with music featured at some of the world’s biggest clubs and festivals, played by big artists.

  • Renée

    Head of Ops & Finance / Co-founder

    Renée's musical journey, starting with classical training at age 4, has evolved from classical competitions to writing top-line melodies for producers to collaborating on songwriting across a variety of genres. Her passion for music and community has led her to venues worldwide, from Shanghai to NYC. These encounters have given her a deep understanding of the dynamic bond between artists and audiences, and she uses these experiences to help our label artists find authentic and effective connections with their listeners.

    Dustin Paik brings a timeless sound to Next Of Kin family through his experience as a songwriter, musician and producer. Early in his music career, he has had the privilege to learn and play alongside jazz icons Wynton Marsalis and John Pizzarelli and across genres at venues throughout the country in jazz, rock, techno, blues and country.
