When people think of entertainment powerhouses shaping the future of live music and film, Jupiter, Florida might not be the first city that springs to mind. But Dennis Cunningham, Founder and CEO of Airtab Music, has spent more than ten years turning his Sunshine State operation into a major force across live events and global filmed entertainment.
Cunningham’s entrepreneurial journey is driven by a vision to build a media empire where live music, digital engagement, and high-production concert cinema come together. Over the past decade, Airtab Music has steadily grown from an innovative social discovery brand into a full-scale entertainment enterprise. The company established its foothold by working with major artists and music events, including Luke Bryan, Usher, SZA, Nelly, Billy Idol, and Cole Swindell.
Now, he is steering Airtab into its next major chapter by expanding into large-scale filmed entertainment. The move marks a natural evolution for an entrepreneur focused on taking the electric energy of live performance and delivering it to worldwide audiences on the big screen.
Airtab’s latest enterprise is its most ambitious to date. The company is producing and presenting Janet Jackson: Control 40 (The Airtab Music Movie), a filmed concert event celebrating four decades of Jackson’s groundbreaking album, “Control.” Directed by acclaimed filmmaker Leslie Small, the feature will be captured during Jackson’s December 12 performance at the Amerant Bank Arena in Sunrise, Florida, before heading toward a global theatrical release followed by worldwide streaming distribution.
The company is also behind Headliners Only, an upcoming theatrical concert film featuring international icons Akon and Burna Boy, on which Cunningham serves as executive producer.
For the entrepreneur, these projects reflect a forward-thinking approach to Airtab Music, connecting legendary artists, emerging talent, and audiences across digital platforms and live experiences. By combining world-class live events with premier theatrical distribution, he is creating an ecosystem where defining music moments live far beyond a single night.
Airtab Music is positioning itself right at the center of how audiences experience culture globally. From its headquarters in Florida to arenas around the world, Dennis Cunningham is proving that clear vision and independence can redefine the future of music entertainment.
