Business of the Month: Nothing Much & Peeps Studios

Posted in : Around DB Articles, Spotlight on by : Around DB , Comments: 0

Ask a bunch of entrepreneurs what drives them and most will say their passion, their belief in whatever it is they are sharing with clients. Visual artist MJ Lee is no exception. As co-founder of Peeps Studios and creative director for Nothing Much, MJ is all about proactive collaboration, and he finds himself in the right place at the right time.

“Nothing Much is a marketing and entertainment company, and Peeps Studios is a creative, design and lifestyle agency,” MJ opens. “We aim to bridge the gap between art and business, and connect people together. We know how to party and we know how to bring people to the party!

“Our motto is ‘Life Is Simple,’” MJ adds. “We can make everything from event planning and execution to social media management (Instagram to Xiaohongshu) easier. We have the skills to help clients create content, build brand awareness, find sponsorship opportunities… Our strength is that we operate a fully diversified business; our area of expertise is broad, so we can offer clients multiple solutions.”

Partnered with local entrepreneur Paul Kohli, founder of Nothing Much and co-founder of Peeps Studios, MJ is currently working on creatives for Perrier-Jouët. The team are also responsible for bringing Naked Flowers to Hong Kong: NAKED Inc’s celebrated, fully interactive, digital-art exhibition is showing through October 27 at 1881 Heritage, TST.

“We’ve worked with brands and local celebrities such as Audemars Piguet and Billionaire Boys Club, and in March 2023, I created paintings, key visuals and main event logos for the LACMA Art Basel party as a contributing artist,” MJ says. “This one-night-only event brought together the global creative community and is credited with restarting Hong Kong’s art scene after the pandemic.”

On the entertainment side, Nothing Much specialises in securing professional, multi-talented performers and musicians for all kinds of events. “One of our key services is booking artists,” says MJ, “and there are plans to bring a roster of global artists to Asia in 2025.”

Looking to the future, MJ hopes to keep growing the business. “We aspire to work with diverse artists, athletes and socialites, while also forging partnerships and collaborating with renowned global brands,” he says. “Simultaneously, I aim to host exceptional events and parties, all the while nurturing my own artistic growth and development. Anyone who likes the sound of what we do at Nothing Much and Peeps should know that we are currently looking for interns.”

It’s clear MJ has a “work hard, play hard” ethic. So, what does the 23-year DB resident do to relax? “I find solace in a multitude of activities, including travelling, capturing moments through photography, painting, drawing and constructing terrariums for my pet reptiles,” he says. Life is simple.
