**But Is Everyone Making Music A Good Thing?**

Two year old startup Music Mastermind has raised $4.85 million in Series A funding. Music Mastermind empowers anyone to create music and collaborate with known artists on a variety of platforms including web portals, mobile devices and gaming consoles.[![image from latimesblogs.latimes.com](http://hypebot.typepad.com/.a/6a00d83451b36c69e201310f4ca2d7970c-120wi)](http://hypebot.typepad.com/.a/6a00d83451b36c69e201310f4ca2d7970c-pi?ref=hypebot.com) The company was co-founded by former Virgin Records America CEO  
Matt Serletic and Wall Street veteran trader Bo Bazylevsky. In January, they showcased a demo version of its software at the CES 2010\. A subsequent Los Angeles Times write-up raved, "Interest in music and video games is well-nigh universal, and Music Mastermind has combined the two in an instantly appealing way."
