Matthew St. Pierre is a music-industry builder, artist developer, and startup founder from Northern Ontario, now based in Toronto, and the Founder and CEO of Lisnin Music Inc. Across nearly a decade in independent music he has moved from managing artists, to building fan communities, to building the software he believes they actually need; his thesis is that talent has never been the bottleneck, infrastructure is.

He learned the business hands-on: running a studio and label, co-writing and co-producing records, directing music videos, and developing artists across Ontario. He holds marketing, artist-development, or songwriting credits with independent acts including J-Minu$, Andy Polk, Ricky James, and Moula 1st, work that has contributed to millions of streams.

In 2021 he founded Sol Music Ltd, an early web3 launchpad for independent artists, and the Lonely Listeners Club, the fan community that powered it. J-Minu$'s debut project "maybe we got it all wrong" grossed roughly $45,000 and helped grow the artist from about 3,000 to 40,000+ monthly Spotify listeners; Andy Polk's "Phantom" campaign grossed roughly $53,000. The Lonely Listeners Club has since grown past 80,000 people across social platforms with an inner circle of over 4000 members which has helped independent artists raise over $200,000 through community-led crowdfunding.

Lisnin grew directly out of that work. An early build earned recognition at the 2023 Solana Grizzlython, which drew more than 10,000 registrants, and it is now an all-in-one career platform for independent artists: distribution to 150+ platforms at 0% commission, publishing administration across US, Canadian & European PROs, the Earkitz website builder, a directory of 4,000+ vetted industry contacts artists can submit to, a Discord-native listening-party bot, and a forthcoming Music Rights & Experiences Marketplace where artists license their music and sell access to experiences. Launch is targeted for late 2026. Lisnin has completed Innovation Factory's Concept Catalyst program and was recently accepted into Creative Destruction Lab's Montreal Web3 stream at HEC Montréal.

He also leads business development at Wracket Music, the Toronto music-supervision company founded by Everton Lewis Jr., former head music supervisor at VICE Canada, whose sync work spans Tim Cook's Apple keynotes, Eli Roth's "Thanksgiving," and MTV. Lewis is his longtime mentor and business partner.

St. Pierre has spoken as a mentor at Canadian Music Week and at the SoAlive Music Conference in Sofia, Bulgaria. At Music Frontiers he debuts Lisnin.
