Stage Zero Entertainment is a next-generation AI entertainment and music company co-founded by Grammy-winning producer Timbaland, Rocky Mudaliar, and Zayd Portillo.

The company develops next-generation music artists, original IP, and AI-powered creative tools that merge human creativity with emerging technology.

Stage Zero operates at the intersection of music, storytelling, and innovation, building new entertainment experiences for global audiences.

At Stage Zero, every project begins with the artist’s vision. We use AI as a creative tool to expand what’s possible, while protecting originality, authorship, copyright, IP, and privacy rights.

Our process is built around transparency. We document where assets come from, how tools are used, and how each creative contribution is credited. No creative input is trained on, reused, or repurposed without explicit contractual consent.

By tracking intent, authorship, tools, and techniques from first concept to final product, Stage Zero gives artists and partners a clear path to ownership, revenue, and creative integrity.
