About Us
MNDLB5 was co-founded by Neel Lee Chauhan and his two sons Evan C and EC^2. Neel is a Canadian-British tech executive and former Top 10 Canadian EDM DJ. He launched the company after discovering that his boys performed better in sports when they listened to their favourite EDM tracks. On a hunch, he mobilized a team of artists and technologists from Google, Salesforce, Common.xyz, Yodle and Toronto Metropolitan University who completed an academic literature review, which validated that music can drive human focus, engagement and performance. MNDLB5 brings together world-class EDM artists with the very best talent in technology (AI, Social, Sound Engineering, etc)
