\n\t\t\t\t\tAt the beginning of his career in web design, Sam Jennings closely followed Prince's growing interest in using the internet as a distribution model for his music in the mid-90s. At the end of 1998, Sam joined Prince's web team to begin building a community that would eventually lead to the launch of the NPG Music Club in 2001. As the Director of the Music Club, Sam worked with Prince on inventing a new model of music distribution for the 21st Century that circumvented all previously monopolized channels of access to his audience. Through exclusive access to concert ticket presales, VIP offers, and regularly released new music, Prince's NPG Music Club grew and grew for five years.\n

\nAs a result, the Club won a Webby Award as well as gave Prince a Webby Lifetime Achievement Award, proving a 100% artist-owned internet business could redefine success on its own terms in the new Age of Access. During this time, Sam also took over all the creative visual work for Prince, designing several album & single packages, merchandise, promotional materials, photo retouching, and anything else Prince could come up with. Working with Prince was a unique, creative experience that always pushed the limits of what you thought was possible. Sam continues that spirit in his creative work since that time, including working for Pearl Jam, Microsoft, Ebony Magazine, and Avril Lavigne.\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>
