Think It’s A Game Records has become a powerhouse in the music industry because of the motivation and drive of Founder and C.E.O. Girvan “Fly” Henry. The New York-born and Atlanta-raised entrepreneur, mogul and philanthropist is the visionary behind Think It’s A Game Records. Thanks to Fly and his team, Think It’s A Game Records has quietly grown from a local label and management company into a multi-platinum hit-making powerhouse with major distribution, numerous awards, and a place at the forefront of the culture.
2012 marked a mainstream breakthrough for the company. Trinidad James’s “All Gold Everything” blew up as one of the biggest songs of 2012. Not only did it earn a gold plaque from the RIAA, but an interpolation of the track featured in Mark Ronson and Bruno Mars’ mega-hit, “Uptown Funk,” which scored GRAMMY® Awards in the categories of “Record the Year” and “Best Pop/Duo Performance.” Meanwhile, Rich Homie Quan’s star skyrocketed. “Walk Thru” reached gold status, while “Flex (Ooh, Ooh, Ooh)” went double-platinum and soared to #1 on the radio. At the same time, TIG7 Publishing garnered a trio of BMI Awards in the category of “Most Performed R&B/Hip-Hop Song” for “Flex (Ooh, Ooh, Ooh)”, YG’s “My Hitta” [feat. Rich Homie Quan & Jeezy], and Rich Gang’s “Lifestyle.” In addition to BMI Awards, TIG7 Publishing has received several awards and accomplishments for signed producer June James: Billboard Top 40 Single with Travis Scott’s “Yosemite” which also went double platinum and Hot Single 100 with Yo Gotti’s “Put A Date On It”, certified platinum.
That success continued in 2017. Following years of development, “Fly” steered YFN Lucci to stratospheric success. “Key To The Streets” [feat. Trouble & Migos], also produced by TIG’s signed producer June James, marked the second consecutive #1 at radio, and it became platinum. “Everyday We Lit”, produced by TIG’s signed producer June James, followed the third consecutive #1 at radio, with a gold certification. Along the way, he orchestrated a high-profile distribution deal for Think It’s A Game Records with Warner Bros. Records. Under this partnership, Lucci’s full-length debut, Ray Ray from Summer Hill, captured spots in the Top 10 of the Billboard U.S. R&B/Hip-Hop and US Rap charts in addition to the Top 15 of the Top 200. “Fly” has been personally featured by everyone from XXL, Black Enterprise, and BET to HipHopDX and more.

Aaron Koenig Releases Ska Anthem for Geeks
Aaron makes music about meaningful topics that rocks and grooves – and sometimes it even skanks on a rock steady beat!
His new song ‘Geeks’ has been released on all major music platforms on November 15th. It is an anthem for the heroes of the digital age: computer nerds, also known as geeks. It is driven by an off-beat ska guitar, a sticky bass line and a groovy brass section. The icing on the cake is a jazzy saxophone solo.
“I have always loved Ska, I even saw the Specials, the Selecter and Madness live in their heydays”, says Aaron. “I chose the topic although I am not a geek myself, but I have a lot of sympathy for them. Geeks are often frowned upon because they can be socially awkward, but they are the ones who are building a better world. So I think they deserve an anthem.”
The music video is mostly made up of typography, minimalistic ASCII graphics and heavily pixelated images – it surely looks geeky! Watch it here:
Aaron writes catchy songs that are made for people who like meaningful, uplifting topics and guitar-driven, hand-made sounds. His musical journey started young but it wasn’t until he discovered Bitcoin and became so invested in it that he used music to express his new found joy.
“It’s mostly rock music, with excursions into funk, soul and other styles I grew up with. In general, it’s guitar-driven and hand-made, often with a punkish energy and beatlesque harmonies. What all my songs have in common are meaningful lyrics about being in the here and now, about transforming disturbing emotions into wisdom, about being in the flow, things like that.” says Aaron in an interview.
“I have always been making music and writing songs, starting with a punk rock band when I was 15. However, I never saw it as a career. I played in several bands in my teenage years and my early twenties, but after my media studies in Berlin and Rio de Janeiro I focused on other things. I first worked in TV production and then founded one of the first Internet agencies in Germany. I discovered Bitcoin in 2011 and became fascinated by it. I wrote five books about it, made lots of promotional videos and educational series for Bitcoin and blockchain companies, and organised events. I even wrote some songs about Bitcoin, which became quite popular in the community, like my Reggaeton about the Bitcoin Beach in El Salvador. People always liked that my songs are catchy and provocative. It was by the end of 2023 that I decided to go full in on music. It’s what I enjoy the most, so now I want to fully follow my passion.”
Since May 2024, his songs have been streamed more than 250,000 times on Spotify and his music videos have been viewed more than 350,000 times on YouTube.
