You Are Your Own Worst Enemy

You Are Your Own Worst Enemy

I had the pleasure of speaking with Myia B the other night. Myia B is a talented singer & songwriter whose voice led her to being featured on the BET cable TV series "Sunday Best". We had a great conversation about music marketing, music business, social media marketing and we also spoke about creating new and appealing content. Check out this clip from the session. Feel free to contact me if you're interested in a consultation session and being featured on this channel. Thanks

Why Are You Being So Defensive???

Why Are You Being So Defensive???

Are you quick to get on the defensive side when someone says something to you that may possibly be constructive criticism? Or are you totally receptive to all information that you receive? Defensiveness in communication can create miscommunication and conflict. In this video, I speak with Kash Vegan about effective communication and putting your defenses down so that communication can be received in the most efficient manner. I also discuss being more receptive to information, whether you perceive the information as good or bad. Contact me if you're interested in a consultation session.

Why Tuesday with Drake Almost NEVER Happened

Why Tuesday with Drake Almost NEVER Happened

In this segment from a consultation session with Kash Vegan from last week, I tell the story about the hit song "Club Goin' Up on a Tuesday" aka "Tuesday" that ended up getting remixed by Drake. Thanks to iLoveMakonnen, Sonny Digital, Metro Boomin & Drake for contributing to the success of this project. All of you will always be considered family to me and I'm blessed to have worked with such talented brothers. Here's the true music business story about how the hit song "Tuesday" featuring Drake almost NEVER came out.

Slow Down and Always Count Your Blessings

Slow Down and Always Count Your Blessings

Just a quick rant about a man in a wheelchair that I came across the other day. Slow down and count your blessings. Think about the good things going on in your life instead of the bad. Take what you have and make the most out of it. This is a clip from a consultation session that I had the other day with Kash Vegan. Contact me if you're interested in a consultation session. Thanks -Pres

Jay-Z WOULDN'T Be a Successful Artist Had He Came Out in 2021

Jay-Z WOULDN'T Be a Successful Artist Had He Came Out in 2021

I don't think Jay-Z would be a successful artist if he came out with the same approach that he did in 1996, in 2021. Jay-Z and Roc-a-fella created this "Godfather of Brooklyn-esque" persona that made him appear larger than life. In Hip Hop, this approach has been replicated so many times that I don't think it would be as easily believable nowadays. In this clip from a consultation session that I had last weekend with a talented artist named Kash Vegan, we discuss why I feel like the internet is now like the "Wild West", how record labels look for young and naive artists, how artists are famous but not rich, 48 Laws of Power and making accomplishments seem effortless and much more.

The Legend of 50 Cent, DDG Retires from YouTube & Why Kid Cudi Wore a Dress

In this continuation from the consultation session I had yesterday with Kash Vegan, I speak about the rise of 50 Cent and I discuss my opinion on YouTuber turned rapper DDG and him recently shutting down his popular YouTube channel with all of his vlogs and prank videos. I also discuss why Fetty Wap's missing eye made him more relatable, Kid Cudi wearing a dress on Saturday Night Live, short attention spans due to the rise of social media platforms, the overabundance of online content and keeping your mystique as an artist.
