Aden Holt is a recognized entrepreneur in the music industry. After graduating the University of North Texas with a Graphic Design degree in the early nineties, Aden moved into downtown Dallas where he started two companies: One Ton Records and One Ton Creative Design Group. He would go on to release nationally distributed CDs by popular Texas area rock bands and deliver creative design for such bands as The Goo Goo Dolls, The Toadies, Jimmy Eat World and The Flaming Lips.

On top of that, Aden spent much of the nineties fronting his own punk band and touring the country, playing dive bars, and sleeping in the van. In 2001, Aden started another concept called Buzz-Oven which was recognized on a 2006 cover of Business Week as a leading concept in teen social networking. Later that year, Aden was featured on the cover of Dallas Business Journal as one of the “Top 40 under 40″rising stars in business. Currently, Aden continues to design in both print and web for clients like Coca-Cola and Neiman Marcus while keeping hundreds of clients in the music industry.

Aden was drawn to Love Hope Strength by James Chippendale whom he had known for years through Dallas’ music scene. Now he serves as the creative designer for the foundation… having designed the foundation’s logo and website. Not only does he contribute his art, he is also an active member and fundraiser. His “Cruiser Rocks” bike rides have become very popular events in Denver, CO and he has raised funds to participate in both Everest Rocks (2007) and Peru Rocks (2008). He is looking forward to Pikes Peak Rocks as his physical challenge will continue create awareness and raise funds for such a great cause.
