Ken Fine, Ph.D.

President & CEO of Blue Moon Talent, Inc.

As a music major at the Philadelphia Musical Academy Ken Fine studied all aspects of music and performance, including music theory, classical & jazz piano and composition. He focused on electronic music and eventually formed a close relationship with Bob Moog, the legendary visionary and inventor of the Moog synthesizer. Ken was a Moog consultant for numerous studio musicians and recording studios as well as a trade show representative for Moog Music. At 24 Ken opened Vibronic Music Services, the first electronic synthesizer retail music store in the United States. During this time period, Ken performed as a keyboard recording session player for Sigma Sound Studios, Gamble, Huff & Bell, and Philly International Records. He performed on a variety of R & B albums such as The Spinners, Harold Melvin & the Blue Notes, Lou Rawls and The O’Jays. Ken also taught electronic music to graduate students at Lebanon Valley College in Pennsylvania.

Ultimately, Ken’s fascination with acoustic waveforms led him to study brain patterns, especially as they relate to perceptual and clinical psychology. He earned a B.A. in experimental psychology from Florida Atlantic University, a Masters in clinical psychology from Antioch University, and a Ph.D. in clinical psychology from the University for Humanistic Studies. It was while he was in graduate school that Ken developed his trademark Peak Performance System for Entertainers. This comprehensive, guided-imagery and mental rehearsal-based program is a revolutionary system used by performing artists to decrease anxiety, conquer stage fright, and increase confidence. For over 20 years Ken practiced as a psychotherapist with a focus on biofeedback, stress management, chronic pain, meditation, and mind-body awareness.

Through the years, Ken’s passion and enthusiasm for music, psychology and the performing arts have gained him extensive experience in the entertainment industry, including:

• Voice-over performer for industrial narrations
• Booking and artist management services
• Website design for entertainers
• Public speaking and consulting
• Audio engineering and recording
• Cruise ship show-band leader
• Arranging and composing
• Keyboardist for recording sessions and live bands
• Peak performance and stage fright coaching
