Ticket Fairy combines ticketing, fintech, AI (artificial intelligence), marketing automation, and real-time analytics to help event and festival producers across music, gaming/esports, and food & beverage increase revenue, reduce operational costs, and lower financial risk — all while tackling some of the industry’s toughest consumer challenges, including ticket scalping and resale fraud.

Today, Ritesh brings together decades of industry experience and a deep understanding of technology to push the boundaries of what’s possible in live events.

| TeaFlix Interview with Phil Solem | 23 Jul 2025 | 00:54:40 | |
Phil Solem is best known as one half of the pop-rock duo The Rembrandts, whose hit single “I’ll Be There for You” became an iconic anthem of the 1990s as the theme song to the smash TV series Friends. A multi-talented musician, singer, and songwriter, Solem co-founded The Rembrandts with Danny Wilde in the early 1990s after the two had collaborated in the short-lived power pop band Great Buildings in the 1980s. Originally from Duluth, Minnesota, was influenced by the British Invasion, classic rock, and power pop, with a guitar-driven sensibility and sharp melodic instinct that would become his musical signature. His harmonies, intricate guitar work, and songwriting skills helped define The Rembrandts' sound—a blend of jangly pop hooks, thoughtful lyrics, and tight arrangements. Beyond Friends, The Rembrandts enjoyed chart success with their 1990 debut hit “Just the Way It Is, Baby”, which earned them international recognition and solidified their place in the pop-rock landscape. Solem continued to evolve as a musician throughout the decades, pursuing solo projects and collaborations, including a band called The Road Runners, while always maintaining a creative partnership with Wilde. Phil Solem remains active in music today, touring and recording with The Rembrandts, who released their latest album Via Satellite in 2019—an album that returned to their roots in melodic, harmony-rich rock. His legacy continues through his songwriting, stage presence, and deep connection to one of television’s most beloved theme songs.

| TeaFlix Interview with Laurie Kaye | 08 Apr 2025 | 00:47:15 | |
TeaFlix Interview with Laurie Kaye Laurie Kaye began her career in radio at KFRC-AM San Francisco, for years one of the nation’s greatest top 40 stations, where she started as an intern and worked her way up to on-air reporter and anchor. She wrote and coproduced numerous radio rock specials for RKO, including RKO Presents the Beatles (released in 1977, and later expanded and retitled as The Beatles from Liverpool to Legend), and The Top 100 of the 70’s before moving on to write Dick Clark’s weekly radio countdown show and syndicated newspaper column. Kaye then moved on to television and film as a writer, producer, and casting director, handling both creative content and line producing for docuseries pilots. She now concentrates full-time on writing. About Lauries' Book - Confessions of a Rock 'n' Roll Name-Dropper Laurie Kaye is a writer and producer, and 'Confessions of a Rock ’n’ Roll Name-Dropper: My Life Leading Up to John Lennon’s Last Interview' is her long-awaited memoir. In it, we read about Kaye's music-related early life wrapped around that day in December 1980 which Kaye spent with John Lennon and Yoko Ono at the legendary Dakota apartment building on Manhattan's Upper West Side. On December 8, 1980, while working for RKO Radio, twenty-something rock journalist Laurie Kaye co-conducted an interview with her longtime idol, John Lennon. It was to become Lennon's final interview on what tragically turned out to be his last day on the planet. That evening, John Lennon was gunned down by a man Laurie Kaye had encountered just hours before. Lennon's 25-year-old assassin (whom Kaye refuses to refer to by name) had blocked Kaye's path outside the Dakota, harassing her with questions right after the interview such as, “Did you talk to him?” and “Did you get his autograph?", and in the following years, Laurie Kaye has continued to beat herself up over her failure to recognize that this creep had posed a danger and should have been reported. As we approach the anniversary of John Lennon's death, Laurie Kaye reflects on how she rose from teen runaway from a dysfunctional family to an expatriate studying Balinese dancing in Indonesia to journalist, writer and producer. Along the way, she interviewed titans of the music industry including John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison, Grace Slick, Talking Heads, The Ramones, David Bowie, Mick Jagger (whom she put on hold so that he could listen to her newscast before getting down to business) and many more. But it was that December day she shared a loveseat with John Lennon and watched him push his iconic granny glasses down the length of his nose and smile at her in agreement that remains most indelibly etched in her mind, making it, as she says, both the best and worst day of her life.

| TeaFlix Interview with Jim Wilson (Composer) | 08 Oct 2024 | 00:50:16 | |
TeaFlix Interview with Jim Wilson Jim could have simply dismissed himself as a competent piano tuner-technician, even an exceptional one. But he was and is so much more, and it took the sudden death of a dear friend and the encouragement of a legendary singer/songwriter to prove it to him. From a broken home in Amarillo, Texas to a multi-award-winning recording artist, Jim Wilson’s journey is a captivating tale of showbiz glamour, personal tragedy, self-discovery, and dogged determination. Tuned-In: Memoirs of a Piano Man is a page-turner and a life-changer. It’s a self-help book in the form of an autobiography. It is entertaining, revealing and full of lessons for musicians, fans, and all readers. Jim’s life direction was set when he was given a guitar at age 7, then began composing songs at age 9. Soon after moving from West Texas to LA in his early 20’s, he gained a reputation as a respected piano technician, catering to the highest echelon of the music industry. Jim helped develop the first MIDI-adapter for acoustic piano in the 80’s, which became an instant hit with artists and studios around the world.

| TeaFlix interview with Andrew Cook (Beatles Author) | 22 Oct 2025 | 00:52:57 | |
Andrew Cook is a historian, researcher and author whose 15 books have been published in 7 languages. He is the author of the international best-selling books ‘Ace of Spies’, the authorised biography of former MI6 master spy Sidney Reilly, ‘To Kill Rasputin’ and ‘Murder of the Romanovs’. All of his books have either been the subject of TV documentaries or motion pictures. About Andrew's latest book "Capitol Gains - Exposing the conflict between The Beatles and the label that made them": A chance remark on the stairs at Peter Morris Music in London’s Denmark Street, in October 1963, set off a chain reaction that helped Brian Epstein apply some much- needed leverage on America’s Hollywood based Capitol label. Although February 1963 marked the Beatles’ breakthrough in Britain, by the closing months of that year they still had not conquered America. Their manager Brian Epstein had been fighting what seemed like a losing battle to persuade Capitol to release the band’s records in America. How did that chance encounter in Denmark Street eventually force Capitol’s hand? When the Beatles eventually hit the big time in the US in February 1964, both Epstein and Capitol executives obscured the true story about how this had happened. However, corporate and personal archives now reveal the reality and much more besides. The lid is also lifted on the fact that Capitol viewed the British record industry as being 30 years behind the times, and set out to remix UK master tapes and create distinct US albums. While Capitol’s strategy made the Beatles rich beyond their wildest dreams, Epstein is shown as often struggling to balance Capitol’s commercial decisions against the Beatles’ own demands. This account also explores Capitol’s PR efforts to protect the Beatles image as they get caught up in the whirlwind of world-wide success.

| TeaFlix Interview with Filmmakers (Wise Women) | 06 Aug 2024 | 00:54:38 | |
TeaFlix Interview with Filmmakers Christopher Henze, Dominique Debroux and Jonathan Sanger Hosted by Dr. Angie McCartney & Ruth McCartney Filmmakers Christopher Henze, Dominique Debroux and Oscar® winning producer Jonathan Sanger ("Elephant Man, Vanilla Sky, Frances and more) when they'll discuss their new documentary "WISE WOMEN" and how it reveals the mystery of menopause and the importance of women in our society. The subject of menopause, once sidelined to the realms of whispers and shame has recently been elevated into the mainstream by personalities like Oprah, Michelle Obama, Halle Berry, Naomi Watts and Gwyneth Paltrow. They, along with many others, are aware of the giant void of quality information about this incredibly confusing and important time. A new documentary takes a fresh look at early human development and finds a new interpretation to menopause that results in The Wise Woman Hypothesis. One conclusion is that, for early humans, conditions favored groups who excelled in the complexity of family and group social management. and had a greater influence of mature post-reproductive females in that management. When the filmmaker’s Co-producer and wife started going into perimenopause, beyond the physical symptoms of hot flashes, body changes, sleep issues, and brain fog, she felt a dread that much in her life was over. She initially researched supplements, HRT (Hormone Replacement Therapy) or treatments that might help her feel better. But none of those things would solve the general societal message that her usefulness was largely done. This new documentary, Wise Women, dives into something fundamental that will change evolutionary science and elevate our understanding of how we became modern humans. It answers why menopause exists and shows evolutionary proof that women, especially mature women, are best equipped to run the world. It connects the dots of how mastering fire and cooking changed the trajectory of early hominins from other primates, and how the adaptation of menopause supercharged that trajectory. Currently the most heralded answer to the existence of menopause in humans is the Grandmother Hypothesis which looks at the effect of post-menopausal woman on birth-frequency, infant brain development and other notable ideas. “We see the Grandmother Hypothesis as a reinforcing concept, rather than an initiating one.” Says director Christopher Henze. “We ask, how did our brains get to be large enough to even make use of the beneficial effects of grandmothers?” Menopause first affected our evolution then allowing “grandmothering” to accelerate it. Additionally, Crone – The Wise Woman Hypothesis shows that, because post-menopausal women were so important to our survival and development, they were venerated. Most pre-historic art that has been found depicts women.

| TeaFlix Interview with May Pang 2025 | 14 Oct 2025 | 01:01:01 | |
A Multifaceted Legacy in Music and Photography During the period known as "The Lost Weekend" John Lennon experienced one of the most artistically and commercially productive phases of his post-Beatles career. With Pang’s encouragement and support, he produced the albums Mind Games, Walls and Bridges, and Rock ‘n’ Roll, achieving his first solo #1 hit, “Whatever Gets You Through the Night.” Pang’s influence extended to creative collaborations with legends like Elton John, David Bowie, Harry Nilsson, Mick Jagger, and Ringo Starr. Notably, Pang’s whispered voice is heard on “#9 Dream,” and Lennon wrote “Surprise, Surprise (Sweet Bird of Paradox)” about her. Beyond music, Pang played a crucial role in rekindling Lennon’s connections with family and friends. She facilitated a long-overdue reunion between Lennon and his son, Julian, as well as fellow bandmates George Harrison and Paul McCartney (which included a historic jam session with McCartney, Stevie Wonder and others.) Her photograph of Julian Lennon is featured on the cover of his album Jude, and her image of John Lennon in the Catskills appeared on the sleeve of the “Imagine” single in England & Japan, cementing her artistic legacy. Pang’s work extended beyond Lennon. Her early career began at ABKCO Industries, where she worked with Allen Klein’s firm, managing the Beatles’ Apple Corps and the Rolling Stones. By 1970, Lennon and Yoko Ono hired her as their personal assistant, later promoting her to production coordinator. Pang earned a gold record for her contributions to Walls and Bridges and continued to impact the industry by managing releases for artists like Bob Marley and Robert Palmer during her time at Island Records. In 1983, Pang published Loving John, a candid memoir detailing her relationship with Lennon and her behind-the-scenes role in his life and work. In 2008, she released Instamatic Karma, a collection of intimate photographs of Lennon during the Lost Weekend. These photos, which include iconic moments like Lennon signing the contract to dissolve the Beatles, have been exhibited across the U.S. in The Lost Weekend – The Photography of May Pang. May Pang remains a sought-after voice in the music and photography worlds, with appearances in major publications and interviews on prominent platforms such as Good Morning America, CBS Sunday Morning, and Howard Stern. Her story was further immortalized in the acclaimed documentary The Lost Weekend: A Love Story, which premiered at the 2022 Tribeca Film Festival and is now available on major streaming platforms. Today, Pang continues to share her unique perspective through her photographs and storytelling, offering an intimate glimpse into one of rock and roll’s most fascinating chapters.

| Teaflix Interview with Billy Amendola | 23 Sep 2025 | 01:02:13 | |
Billy Amendola is one of the most respected musicians and industry leaders in the music business. Billy, a New York-based studio drummer, songwriter/producer, podcast host, celebrity interviewer, mentor, and music industry advisor, is a founding member of the late-seventies band Mantus. The band released two albums, charted three top-ten Billboard dance singles, and achieved worldwide fame, touring the U.S., Canada, and Europe. Amendola, associated with Modern Drummer magazine for 25 years, left in 2022, shortly after the publication was sold. Immediately after his exit from MD, he hosted an audio podcast series with Drum Channel for two years, recording 94 shows under his own “Billy’s Bubble” show. A forerunner in electronic programming and hybrid drumming from the mid-70s to the late '90s, Amendola, combining acoustic and electronic drums, achieved success in the studio, recording on albums, song demos, television commercials, soundtracks, and hundreds of 12” remixes. In 1987, he combined his hybrid sound on the debut album of teen sensation and Eighties songstress Debbie Gibson’s Out of the Blue. The album spawned several international hits, including “Only In My Dreams” and “Shake Your Love.” Coming full circle, on several occasions, Billy has performed as a guest percussionist with Ringo Starr and his All Starr Band on the encore of The Beatles' classic song “A Little Help From My Friends.” He’s also attended Starr’s “Peace & Love” Birthday celebration for the past fifteen years. He subsequently serves on the advisory board of Jules Follett’s “The Sessions Panel,” a foundation that empowers artists through education and real-world advice. Billy was also an advisory board member of Music Will (previously Little Kids Rock). This charitable organization provides free music instruction and instruments to school districts nationwide. Over 1,000,000 youngsters currently participate in Music Will/LKR programs nationwide. In 2022, Billy was appointed as an A&R board member of the non-profit organization Raven Drum Foundation (with co-founder/Def Leppard drummer Rick Allen and his wife, singer/songwriter Lauren Monroe). The non-profit sponsors events and drum circles to raise money and support for veterans and first responders. Having spent over fifty years in the industry, Billy has experienced the ins and outs of the music industry from both sides of the fence.

Anthony DiMaria is an American actor, producer, author, and director. He is also known for preserving the legacy of his uncle, Jay Sebring, a pioneering stylist who was killed by members of the Manson Family in August 1969, during what is now known as the "Tate Murders."

Booth's "Genius Books" with many restored facts, images, and interviews regarding Jay Sebring's life history. The novel was introduced to the public with a Hollywood screening and Q&A of DiMaria's original Sebring film documentary, held 9 August 2025 at the vintage Los Feliz 3 theatre and delivered by the American Cinematheque organization (led by chairman Rick Nicita) via Hollywood's Larry Edmunds Bookshop. Watch the documentary here https://youtu.be/nMIRhYTkjpM?si=j3IKROKFgANEfdHy Career In both educational and professional capacities, Anthony DiMaria has worked off-Broadway, Off-Off-Broadway, and in regional New York/Los Angeles theatres with The Barrow Group, Actors Studio, Neighborhood Playhouse, and Circle Rep LAB. In movies and TV, DiMaria has often played roles in soap operas (One Life to Live and Guiding Light), appeared in The Sopranos, and made a feature film debut as Jam Kitchen in the Sundance hit The Pigeon Egg Strategy, shot in Hong Kong. Anthony DiMaria has further performed as Weldon Giles in Disney's Pixel Perfect and Howard Fox in Woody Allen's Café Society.

Jay Sebring Documentary Anthony DiMaria released the feature documentary Jay Sebring....Cutting to the Truth, which presented a platform to correct and illuminate his uncle Jay Sebring's life outside the Manson murders. The documentary was a critical success and featured in-depth investigative interviews with Quincy Jones, Nancy Sinatra, Quentin Tarantino,Dennis Hopper, and others. In his Los Angeles Times review, critic Michael Ordoña found Cutting To the Truth to be "an impressive directorial debut for actor Anthony Dimaria," noting its "stylish" presentation, and an "absorbing and passionate" narrative. Manson family parole hearings Since 2004 Anthony DiMaria has spoken for the Sebring family and advocated for the Gary Hinman and LaBianca families as a representative in numerous parole hearings for Manson family members. Anthony DiMaria and his immediate family continuously and unfailingly urged the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation to deny any and all parole or release to the remaining Manson group. In one of Tex Watson's parole hearings Anthony DiMaria commented, "These are troubled waters for many of us in here today and I would be remiss if I didn't state that I feel profound sorrow for all of us involved, and great sorrow for Mr. Watson." In 2016, Anthony DiMaria urged the California Board to consider parole for Patricia Krenwinkel "when her victims are paroled from their graves".
