Life of Artist Manager: Malibu Music Video

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CNRE_11u_qc


(1/7/15) - On this day I shot a music video with a new artist I was developing named Ben Brady. I met Ben while I was shopping in Santa Monica. We recorded a bunch of songs at my studio then we decided to shoot some music videos. This was the second video I shot for Ben. Ben's father is a well known film director in Hollywood and he is also the nephew of "The Fonz" from the legendary American TV show "Happy Days". Thanks to Sonny Digital for the track used on this song.

Life of Artist Manager: Safaree's Bachelor Pad

(1/6/15) - Just left the studio with Safaree and we stopped by his bachelor pad, so I decided to get some footage. Safaree also shows his Bentley Flying Spur and four of his motorcycles, one which he keeps inside the apartment. Check out this MTV Cribs style tour of his place. I hear Safaree just got his own TV show on Vh1. Congrats to Safaree on his new television show venture.

Life of Artist Manager: Safaree In The Studio

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l0bO0WVifSY

(1/6/15) - On this day, I met Safaree (http://instagram.com/iamsafaree) and TravisKr8ts (http://instagram.com/traviskr8ts) at a studio in North Hollywood. Safaree is known for writing many of Nicki Minaj's hit songs and is one of the better hip hop writers of our time. I believe he deserves a lot more credit for his work. Watch him and producer/engineer TravisKr8ts make a beat on the spot, while him and Safaree piece together lyrics and make the song "Bruce Wayne", which was a part of his "It Is What It Is, Vol. 2" album

Life of Artist Manager: When Your Artist Becomes a Millionaire

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_Xk4w2CGysU

(10/23/14) - On this day, I took my artist to Chase to open up a new bank account. New money was starting to come in left and right, and he needed a new bank account. Never let fame or money go to your head. This was also the day after Makonnen was attacked on stage (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xns7Wltirw0) by Troy Ave's bodyguard Ronald McPhatter aka Banga, who was later murdered during a shooting at a T.I. concert at Irving Plaza in New York (https://www.nytimes.com/2016/06/23/nyregion/troy-ave-pleads-not-guilty-to-attempted-murder-in-ti-concert-shooting.html).
