Art – Technology – Imagination – Creativity
Rich Rinehart’s (a.k. AZooNY’s) RineStock Studios is an entity where high quality, soulfulness, and imagination are the guiding principles. Through RineStock Studios, Rich runs a music publishing company (Hear’s Some Tunes Records), a record label (Back2theBeat Music), and had an art directory but is now his alter ego (AZooNY.com), and an internet web page creation and hosting service. Besides of all this, he finds the time to write and record his musical creations.
Rich is also a fanatic fan of Cleveland Ohio and supports the local arts scene whenever he can. In the 1990’s he crafted the original web presence for Cleveland Opera, the Cleveland Chamber Symphony, and the Ohio Independent Film Festival. He is currently President of the Cleveland Chamber Symphony and Board member (ex-Vice-President) of Verb Ballets.

The second was an Alternative Rock production by the band Almost Huemon which contains 12 of Rich’s original song compositions. With an eye looking forward, Rich notes “I think one of the most important aspects of successful creativity, is just forcing yourself to see your project or idea through to completion”.
