By the age of 25, Brett Cantor was a rising music mogul and had a keen eye for talent. His credits include helping discover rock bands like Rage Against the Machine and Korn. In 1993, Cantor was at the top of his game and added club owner to his resume just before his death by signing on as a partner in the infamous Hollywood nightclub, Dragonfly. There he ran the popular hip-hop night called Riot with his business partner, actress Victoria Sellers. The daughter of famed actors Peter Sellers and Britt Ekland.

Brett’s life was on a collision course with fate when he was last seen alive leaving Club 435 North in Beverly Hills on July 30, 1993, at 1:00 am, and later that morning would be murdered in his West Hollywood apartment. The case remains unsolved until this day.
