2017
The beginning
Scott Paul founded Ill Intent Entertainment around music, live experiences, and independent creative ambition.
About Ill Intent
Attention is temporary. Leverage compounds.
Ill Intent is a culture-first media, production, events, and creative infrastructure company built on one operating principle: Always Innovate.
The Ill Intent approach
Smart. Calm. Intentional.
Founded in 2017 by artist and entrepreneur Scott Paul, Ill Intent sits at the intersection of culture, ownership, media, and opportunity. We turn relationships, taste, content, and execution into platforms with staying power.
No filler
No desperation
No clout chasing
Selective partnerships
Execution that sharpens the brand
Our evolution
Built in culture. Always moving forward.
2018–2019
In the room
PnB Rock concerts at Wellmont became part of the company’s live-event history, documented through performance and backstage archives.
2020–2025
Beyond the stage
Music, interviews, podcasting, creative production, and relationships expanded the platform.
2026
A connected platform
Artist Launch Engine, Ill Advised, partner projects, and a selective creative network connect the next chapter.
The operating model
A platform above the projects.
Media earns trust. Events create moments. Systems capture momentum. The network expands what becomes possible.
Attention
Media & Shows
Original perspective and strategic formats that make audiences care and keep them connected.
Experience
Events & Production
Live and produced moments that deepen trust, create proof, and generate new relationships.
Leverage
Systems & Network
Audience capture, partner infrastructure, talent relationships, and repeatable paths from interest to action.
The founder
Built from both sides of culture.
Scott Paul
Artist. Entrepreneur. Operator.
Scott has built as the talent, the promoter, the strategist, and the founder. Ill Intent turns that lived perspective into infrastructure for other culture-facing people and ideas.
The ethos
Always Innovate
Innovation is not decoration. It is the discipline of finding a smarter way to create, distribute, connect, operate, and build ownership.
Always Innovate
Make the next move intentional.
Bring the context. We’ll help identify the clearest path from attention or ambition to something built to last.
