Our Values:
Our work is based on credibility, team spirit, personal responsibility, the desire to excel and believing in and respecting people.
Our Origins:
XcellentU evolved out of the Production Company that launched the highly acclaimed and artist empowering event, The 1999 New York Music and Internet Expo as well as the NY-based Global Entertainment and Media Summit. Created by a passionate global steward and entertainment writer, Steven Zuckerman, this project developed under several incarnations until it became XcellentU. The Founder also created the two-time Grammy Awards-Winning recording to honor the inventor of multi-track recording and pioneer of the electric Guitar, Les Paul with "Les Paul and Friends." We are solution providers, forward thinkers, and believe that entertainment and media has the power to empower the world and its citizens.
