James Hinton
Studied physics at Brown. Spent the following decade as The Range, a recording artist on Domino — four albums, twenty-five million streams, and a sampling practice built around surfacing undiscovered creators from YouTube’s long tail. Co-founder at Glover Hinton, an AI integration agency working with enterprise and municipal clients across the full product lifecycle. Thinks clearly in ambiguity; builds from first principles.
