In 2011, Jean-Michel Journet left a comfortable and successful EMEA position in customer care management to follow his true passion for music and artists. After going back to school to learn about the intricacy of French music business, he joins Differ-Ant distribution and manages 75+ indie releases per week and works on their first production release for British soul singer Alice Russell's album "To Dust". He is then recruited by young indie label and publisher Belleville Music (Morgane Group) and releases over 15 albums in 2 years.
In 2015, he decides to strengthen his close relationship with artists and creates company, WOOKAÏÏ.
