The people behind it

Convergence was founded together by Lili-Rose, Tony and Grant — three co-founders who started it side by side.

Lili-Rose Elsom

Co-founder of Convergence · Founder of Quantum Drift & Universal Frequencies

Lili-Rose Elsom

Universal Frequencies was born from my love for music as a healing force and a desire to give back. From the beginning, it was never about profit. It was about creating a space where people could connect through sound while contributing to something meaningful. I started running events in 2016, originally through more traditional charity drives and community-focused initiatives. Over time, that experience evolved into creating something more immersive and expressive, which led to Universal Frequencies. All profits currently go back into charity and improving the festival experience.

Tony Lehy

Co-founder of Convergence · Residual · Stage Design (Clone)

Tony Lehy

I came from an animation and film background, working in studios on commercial projects. From there, I moved into set building and architectural visualization, creating detailed renders for interiors and structures. With an engineering mindset, I naturally leaned into technical layouts and drawings, especially for artists. That led me to working with a festival artist, helping translate hand-drawn concepts into technical plans. Over time, I began designing and building pieces myself, turning rough sketches into full 3D environments and physical structures. That's when it clicked. There was something powerful about combining technical precision with creative expression, and seeing people physically experience something I built. I realized I preferred creating real, tangible environments over virtual ones. It fits who I am better.

Grant Ulrich

It was the authenticity. The underground scene has a raw energy where people come together purely for the music and the experience — no distractions, just connection.
