Music Portfolio program kicks off the first week of April.

“As a start-up, SMASHmouse is humbled to be participating in an esteemed program

that values innovation and entrepreneurship,” said Robb Dillon, SMASHmouse Founder

and CEO. “We are interested in all avenues that expand the music industry forward and

propel new generations of musicians to pick up a guitar and riff—whether in their
