I'm only the greatest rapper in your apartment complex!


Another great question that was asked on my formspring: "What all does artist development entail at AG One Entertainment? How do I know that I will be where In short, its developing your sound, image, and preparing you to move onto a major OR prepare you for a release through our label and our publishing."

If you're only in one session then that is typically only a consultation, where we would talk about services offered through us and our partners. Since a consultation occurs after we've either seen you perform live or have heard some of your recorded material, we would give a basic outline as to what market we could see you in and what direction to take your initial/demo project.


There are also instances when we simply just service an artists tracks for a set cost and royalty rate, and that is usually a one time visit type of deal.


As far as knowing you'll be where you need to be is dependent on your career goals, artistry aspirations, work ethic, etc. We have the administrative and creative personnel to provide you with coaching, strategic planning, development, creation, and distribution.

However, to be brutally honest..I can take a horse to water but I can't make it drink. So to answer your question of how will you know are where you need to be is solely contingent on your dedication and personal investment in yourself, your artistry, your development and growth. Just like anything in life, the results you end up with is directly correlated to the to the effort you put in.

Fluidity

Leaders, like surfers, must be able to wait in the water for the perfect wave. However, when the wave does come, you must be able to be not only flexible and fluid, but most importantly KNOW WHEN TO LET THE WAVE GO. Most leaders believe that they must ride the wave until the end instead of knowing when to move on and focus on the next wave. They try to build these eternal processes and structures that may have worked great before, but now through the eyes of new technology, new perspectives and faster consumption of brands, products and services, those "eternal structures" don't work anymore...

Pretty self-explanatory. I could expound upon this and take you through some long drawn out metaphor about how this applies to the entertainment industry, but you know this already. We see it everyday with companies who fail to capitalize on major opportunities because it goes against what is popular right now. The fear of losing money outweighs the unpopular choice. What's popular today is not about what is authentic or genuine, it's simply about building on what was popular last week. Now more than ever, the entertainment industry needs to see more waves of originality and less getting caught up in the riptide of fear and complacency.
