About

John Sellards
John Sellards immersed himself in the world of music before he could even walk. The experience of listening to records and looking at cover art left an indelible impression on him that now manifests itself in his work in the music business and beyond: he understands not only the music and the artist, but the context as well.

He has worked on many regional, national, and international music projects over the past decade, primarily as a designer but occasionally in other capacities such as reissue producer or disc transfer engineer. John normally handles photo restoration work as well, and has considerable experience restoring faded color materials.

Type collection and digitization has been a special area of expertise for John, as he has contributed vintage type to many projects, both his and for a network of colleagues in the industry. He has also redrawn numerous label logos from years past, and has a sizable library of them on hand in clean vector format.

John was previously the creative director at a major university throughout a nearly 15-year career in higher education and gained extensive experience in campaign and book design, cross-media conceptualization, team management, audio/video production, and writing.

He and his wife Chrissy have two young sons, Rocco and Leon, and live in West Virginia.

Chrissy Sellards
Chrissy Sellards was born in Waterbury, Connecticut, where her early exposure to music came from her musician father. She pursued her passion by attending Berklee College of Music, graduating with a Bachelor's Degree in Music Business Management with a focus on vocal performance. During her time at Berklee, she was an active member of the concert choir for all four years, worked for the school's record company, and wrote a weekly column for the school's newspaper. A highlight of her graduation was Steely Dan’s attendance, marking a milestone moment in her music journey.

Following graduation, Chrissy built a 20-year career with a leading global manufacturer of scientific equipment, where she served as Senior Manager of Accounts Receivable. In this role, she managed a team of 12, and her areas of expertise included credit risk management, JSOX compliance, and lien initiatives.

Throughout her corporate career, Chrissy stayed connected to music. She played gigs with her power trio, Mistrence, around Boston while also serving as a vocalist and organist for various churches. This culminated in a decade-long role as Chancel Choir Director at a Methodist church outside of Boston.

After 20 years in the corporate world, Chrissy made the decision to join her husband, John Sellards, in his business. She now oversees asset management, project coordination, and assists with image editing for music reissue projects. Chrissy is excited to reconnect with her musical background and is dedicated to working with clients to bring their creative visions to life.
