Cliff Chenfeld is the co-founder and co-CEO of Razor & Tie, an American entertainment company. Chenfeld grew up in Columbus, Ohio, and graduated from The Ohio State University and earned his law degree from New York University where he met fellow student Craig Balsam. After practicing law for several years, Chenfeld and Balsam left their law jobs in 1990 and formed Razor & Tie, an independent record label. The label initially focused on compilation albums (Monster Ballads) and reissues and has since become one of the leading rock labels in the country with artists such as The Pretty Reckless, Starset, All That Remains, The Sword and Red Sun Rising. In recent years the company has added Washington Square, an alternative leaning imprint and a music publishing company. Razor & Tie Publishing is responsible for No. 1 hits including "Home" by Phillip Phillips, "God Gave Me You" by Blake Shelton, and "Whiskey In My Water" by Tyler Farr.

Kidz Bop has expanded significantly to include a national tour, merchandise, music videos and a channel on Sirius XM.

Chenfeld has also been the executive producer of a number of films including Joan Baez: How Sweet The Sound, Serious Moonlight, Concussion, No Pay Nudity and Women Who Kill.
