My Story Book:

My love for music started when I was born into a family of entertainers and musicians from my grandmother a Spanish guitarist in Chicago’s 1933 Worlds Fair, to my mother now a retired professional choreographer and director.  I naturally experimented with the piano and violin in my grade school years.  My eyes opened wide at age 12 when I went to my first rock-n-roll concert.  I grew up listening to Led Zeppelin, AC/DC, Ozzy Osbourne, Van Halen and classic rock music.  At age 15, I started playing guitar and by 16 was playing in a professional band throughout the Chicago suburbs.  Throughout my teens I worked in record stores as a manager for 5 years during high school and college.  It taught me a valuable lesson in how the record retail industry truly works. 

After high school I studied classical & jazz guitar in college.  I continued to perform in my bands throughout the late 80s and 90s. But in 1995 I founded a record label (NKD Records) and launched a career with the band “Nine24”.  Throughout my mid-20s I worked as an Independent Sales Representative for Rollerblade Inline Skates.  For the next 10 years, I worked in the sporting goods industry selling inline skates, snowboards, skateboards, and clothing for companies like Salomon & Nikon.

Now with over 30 years professional music industry experience and over 20 years professional experience in sales, marketing and restaurant industries, I look to a future working in the industry I was born into.  I moved to Los Angeles in 2003 to explore new opportunities and challenge myself once again.  In 2005, I represented eCost.com sister company to PCMall.com (computer hardware & software business solutions) as a Corporate Sales New Business Account Executive managing over 100 new & existing accounts.  I went from zero dollars to 70K per month in just 6 months making 60 to 100 calls a day.  Prior to that I worked 8 months at Club 705 in Hermosa Beach as Talent Buyer & Club Manager.  During that 8-month period I gained the respect of the music community in Los Angeles, developed a huge database of contacts, including promoters, management companies, bands, etc., and made a huge impact on the success of Club 705. 

Today I continue to work in the restaurant industry where in the past I achieved the highest position of Managing Partner & General Manager.  I also consult for F3 Studios part-time and continue to seek out work in music related industries.  But on July 14th, 2010 Eyelash Factory was created and founded by myself, although the idea was born in 2004, it wasn't fully conceptualized till 2010.  In 2009 I teamed up with my songwriting partner Mike Robson.  Together we write music for the Eyelash Factory concept and brand under the registered name BARANCHIK ROBSON MUSIC (ASCAP).  In August of 2011 we released our first EP v1 (volume one) on iTunes & CDBaby.  We call it "Modern Classic Rock".  The Eyelash Factory company currently employees 3 to 4 Professional Touring Musicians to round out our line-up.  Finally this year 2022, we will be showcasing for Artist Management Companies and release our full length 12 song album v2.1 - Volume Two due to drop in the summer of 2022.

I am enthusiastic, self-motivated, resourceful, production-savvy, highly organized, and efficient with a positive can do attitude.  My past success within the action sports & music industries and passion for NEW business development will bring a fresh point of view to your team..

Sincerely,

Phil Baranchik

Final Thought:

Since I started going to concerts at age twelve I have pretty much met all my Rock-N-Roll Heros by now.  Most of them know who I am, because throughout the years I have graduated into our small circle.  In fact, many of my peers are currently touring with recording artists as guitar techs, roadies, or hired guns.  When it comes to guitars, I married the instrument a long time ago.  There isn't a single thing I don't know already, or haven't experimented with the instrument throughout the years, and that goes for amps too.  Every year I am fortune enough to get invited to Live shows and backstage at concerts.
