Lee Worsley

Lee Worsley and Paul Hagen represent the modern distribution era with their music wholesale business in the United Kingdom—a business formed after the advent of computer technology and the Internet. Active Music Distribution began in 1999 with a strong focus on the percussion market. Lee had worked for Premier Percussion in the UK, where he first met Paul. After a few years as the marketing manager for Future Publications, whose magazines included Guitarist and Classic CD, Lee began talking with Paul about the idea of collaborating on a new style and approach to music distribution.
