Empire 6

Husband and wife team Jared and Ashley Thompson first crossed paths in 2009, where they formed a little party band called IDT and fell in love. They later wed, founded the world's finest entertainment company, had a frickin' adorable child, and the rest is history. It's the typical American love story of a rock star. Although Jared played guitar for IDT in the past, he is a multi-instrumentalist and producer who largely works behind the scenes to develop the show and run the company. Jared only has a role because of Ashley and her incredible singing ability. Her brilliance has opened doors for the business, and with her mentoring, 1564 has been able to consistently draw in and nurture the most sought-after performers.
