Culture-tech company introduces a disruptive model for music ownership, artist revenue, and creative entrepreneurship.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla., Dec. 15, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- AMFM (Artistically Made Fashionable Music) Technologies is introducing the newest evolution of its Bold Mini^™ music device and a groundbreaking platform that reimagines how artists distribute and monetize music. Designed in Jacksonville, the company's innovation positions Northeast Florida as a rising player in the national conversation around culture-tech, creator economies, and next-generation entertainment industries.

Founded by Jacksonville leaders in music, education, and creative strategy, AMFM is building a system where artists and fans participate in a new ownership-based digital economy—rather than relying solely on traditional streaming platforms.

A New Creative-Commerce Infrastructure

AMFM's expanded ecosystem allows artists to sell music directly to fans, offer limited-edition collectible SD card releases, and earn through an affiliate-driven model tied to Bold Mini^™ device sales and digital downloads.

The company is also introducing the Artist Ownership Movement^™, a commerce-focused platform designed to help independent creators generate sustainable revenue while maintaining full control of their intellectual property.

"We're creating a modern pathway for how artists earn and how music is valued in today's economy," said Troy McNair Sr., Chief Strategy & Impact Officer at AMFM Technologies. "This strengthens not just creators, but the ecosystem of innovation we're building here in Jacksonville."

The Bold Mini^™: A Culture-Tech Device Designed in Jacksonville

The updated Bold Mini^™ functions as a compact, high-design music player combining nostalgia with modern performance. Its features include:

• Offline listening and real file ownership
• USB-C seamless uploads
• High-fidelity sound
• SD Card Collector Drops with exclusive artist content
• Video, radio, recorder, and e-book capabilities
• Custom artist editions and branded collaborations

The device is engineered as both a functional tool and a cultural artifact—expanding the creative economy beyond digital-only models.

SD Card Collector Editions^™ Elevate Music into a Physical-Digital Hybrid Product

Artists partnering with AMFM can release curated SD card collections featuring:

• Albums
• Bonus tracks
• Visual content
• Exclusive audio notes
• Digital booklets
• Branded packaging

These Collector Drops tap into the resurgence of physical media while utilizing modern technology to offer fans a new form of ownership and engagement.

A Step Forward for Jacksonville's Innovation Sector

AMFM's expansion reinforces Jacksonville's reputation as a region where creative industries, technology, and entrepreneurship converge. The company's work aligns with broader citywide efforts to attract talent, elevate cultural infrastructure, and grow the local economy through innovation-driven enterprises.

"This is designed for creators everywhere, but its roots are in Jacksonville's unique blend of culture and innovation," said Maurice "Mo" Henderson, Chief Vision & Innovation Officer at AMFM Technologies. "We're proud to contribute to the creative and entrepreneurial momentum happening across the city."

Positioning Jacksonville as a Culture-Tech Capital

With its hybrid model—combining hardware, software, intellectual property, and cultural relevance—AMFM is helping expand Jacksonville's presence in the national conversation around creator-focused technology and entertainment innovation.

The company anticipates partnerships with artists, educators, entrepreneurs, and cultural institutions that share the vision of elevating ownership, access, and creative empowerment.
