The Flighthouse media brand is built by teens for teens, proudly led by its 19-year-old CEO, Jacob Pace at the helm. "We've created one of the most credible music channels on Flighthouse and have grabbed the attention of influencers and brands alike," says Pace. "We are excited to begin building our audience on YouTube, a platform that teens all over the world know and love. The new Flighthouse shows are a magnified representation of each influencer's brand. On YouTube, original content is king, and we think with these first three series people are going to continue to love and support Flighthouse."

Flighthouse, the original content division of Create Music Group, which is one of the fastest growing new music companies in the world, produces its shows and operates out of Create's 25,000-square-foot campus in Hollywood, CA. Flighthouse has experienced exponential growth since the acquisition, with its fanbase growing from 1 million to more than 17 million in less than 18 months.

"Jacob brought Flighthouse into Create very early in the channel's life," said Jonathan Strauss, CEO of Create Music Group. "We both immediately saw the potential of Flighthouse becoming this generation's MTV and Nickelodeon and with this new vertical on YouTube, where kids get their content and where we have an immense amount of expertise, it is a very important first step in realizing this potential."
