“It’s no secret these last 18 months have been financially challenging for the creators of our industry,” says CEO John Waupsh. “Even before the pandemic, the lifeblood of the music industry was completely unsupported when it came to its unique financial needs. Nerve is the first banking app built specifically to handle the business needs of songwriters, DJs, instrumentalists, rappers, producers, singers, bands, anyone who makes money with music. No matter where you are in your career, we look forward to giving you the data and the digital financial services you deserve to drive your business further.” 

Nerve was co-founded by John Waupsh (CEO) and Ben Morrison (CTO), who drew upon their fifteen-plus years as consumer banking and fintech innovators to create a streamlined solution to the unique banking challenges of the music business. Waupsh is also the founder and CEO of Preservation Project, a boutique label dedicated to releasing previously unreleased funk and soul music. It was in that role that he first identified the need for a modern, sophisticated banking service catering to independent musicians.
