Long before Scott Rosenthal built Cape Tunes into an event experience company on Cape Cod, he was a child sitting beside a toy record player, lifting vinyl albums from his parents' collection, and pretending to host his own radio show. Music entered his life early, then stayed there with permanence. Today, that same fascination with songs and energy continues to guide the company he founded, which is built around the belief that music becomes part of how people remember the most important days of their lives.
Rosenthal's relationship with music developed through experimentation and repetition. "I remember recording fake broadcasts as a kid, inventing commercials and introducing songs as though I was already behind a professional microphone," he shares. Concerts soon became another source of inspiration, followed by an internship at a college radio station that offered his first glimpse into the mechanics behind live entertainment and programming. Even then, however, the path toward a career in music remained uncertain. Rosenthal notes that DJing existed on the side of other jobs and responsibilities, occupying weekends and evenings while he worked in hospitality and sales.
