We are not your ordinary Guitar and Drum Care Company. Hi my name is Rand Rognlien, founder of MusicNomad.

For 15 years in the 90’s and 00’s as owner of a successful Car Cleaning company, I passionately lived and breathed cleaning by using quality and innovation to develop over 100 cleaning products and become the market leader. But during this time, my love for Music was always pulling at me. While I kept playing guitar and bass in bands, it was just not enough. I filled many hours with listening to music and going to concerts and that was still not enough. I knew I wanted to follow another passion, Music.

So I gave it all up to start MusicNomad. I had a strong desire to help independent musicians. With very little help from music industry folks, independent musicians are left on their own to figure out how to make it in the music biz. I knew first hand about this. I figured if I could use the Internet to develop the most compressive resource guide to help musicians that would be great. So in 2008, I launched MusicNomad.com where musicians can discover thousands of ranked and reviewed resources to help them produce, sell and support their music. There are also hundreds of tips and articles. We continue to develop various independent musician tools such as Virtual Band Manager that helps musicians negotiate buying Band Merch and CD’s. Another tool we developed, Open Studio, helps musicians find rehearsal studios. We also negotiate special discounts with various music companies and pass the savings on to musicians. With our goal to be authentic and passionate about helping musicians, we did not build in a lot of ways to make money with the website. It’s free for musicians to use everything we offer and that’s the way we will keep it. We try to offer the most helpful information and tools to keep independent music and musicians thriving.

As I pondered the best way to create revenue to accelerate the growth of MusicNomad to further help independent musicians, I realized my passion for developing high quality and innovative cleaning products was still there. For the next year I worked with a team of cleaning experts from around the world with the goal to develop the highest quality Guitar and Drum Care products. We also set a goal to be environmentally friendly in what we developed without compromising quality.

Our year of extensive research started with testing all the existing cleaners, polishes and waxes in the music industry. There were many things we did not like about the existing products that we thought were very important to incorporate in our product line. We then developed proprietary formulations and tested them over and over with musicians, guitar and drum techs, and repair shops to perfect our state of the art product line. The feedback was amazing as we realized that the product feature and benefits that we built into our formulas were really needed in the marketplace. We used the highest quality ingredients such as White Brazilian Carnauba, added unique ingredients such as UV Protectants and Gloss Enhancers, and developed 100% non-toxic, non-abrasive ingredients. Our bottles are even made of 100% PET plastic, the most earth and human friendly recyclable plastic. And in the end it also smells GREAT as you have to use it so why not have it smell awesome.

In addition, every purchase of our products automatically contributes money to help musicians as a portion of the proceeds goes to MusicNomad.com where thousands of musicians each month discover resources, tips and articles to help them in their music career.

We continue our focus and passion to provide remarkable products both today and in the future and we look forward to you experiencing why we are not an ordinary Guitar and Drum Care company.

Thanks,
