Eddie Sears created Rocket Pengwin, a musical and visual project telling the story of a penguin that moved from Antarctica to NYC

Eddie Sears is the Creative Director of Ultra Records, the premier Electronic Music Label in the US, and the creator of the music and visual project Rocket Pengwin.

He has collaborated with artists such as deadmau5, Kaskade, David Guetta, Calvin Harris just to name a few. Ultra is now home of Grammy Award winning artists such as Benny Benassi and Black Coffee, as well as leading icons such as Sofi Tukker, Deorro, Anabel Englund, The Crystal Method among many others.

On the other hand, Rocket Pengwin is a music and visual project that narrates the story of a penguin that moves from Antarctica to NYC.  “I created Rocket Pengwin to tell my story. The answer to “WHY” is “why not?”, says the English-Italian creative.

When I then got to the point where I started getting job requests rather than asking to work, I very rarely said no - if ever. I always thought that any job could lead to opportunity - and it’s been like so for most of the time. There is no straight line, no roadmap and definitely no blueprint”, explains.
