Professor Egozy is Professor of the Practice in Music Technology at MIT, an entrepreneur, clarinetist, and technologist best known as co-founder and chief technical officer of Harmonix Music Systems, the company behind Guitar Hero and Rock Band, which sold over 35 million units worldwide and generated over $1 billion in annual sales.
