so this is kinda the biggest thing that has happened to me ever
Alright. I've been trying to figure out how I was going to announce this to you, the internet, because this is such a big deal to me and I'm trying to maintain some humility about it and whatnot... but screw it....
I'm managing
Elkland/anything Jon Pierce
I said it.
You read me right.
I had brunch with Jon the other day and he was asking me for advice about band stuff because so much has gone wrong for the band. Upon me starting to provide him with my two cents, he stopped me and asked why we weren't business partners. It was there, over mimosas and brunch goodness at Essex that we shook hands....
....and I became a mananger.
Needless to say, I'm excited, I'm pumped, I'm stoked, I'm terrified, I'm anxious, I'm nervous.
But I've never been so happy all at the same time in my life. Or more fulfilled to know that I've finally become an official part of what I love so much.
I won't lie to you people: Elkland has been royally screwed over by SonyBMG/Columbia. They made poor decisions in the past. I have my work cut out for me.
But I have rough demos and an ear that can hear what they could become if nurtured properly. And that's enough to help me focus.
So yeah, if you haven't bought Elkland's record Golden yet in life, you probably should now. Because you're not only supporting the creative process and proving to record labels that real heart-felt music will prevail in the universe, but you're also helping me little by little to pay off my college loans, haha. JK about that last part. I'd much rather have you support the former than the latter. I will work out income until my boys get paid what they deserve. There's no doubt about that.
So much work to do. It's a good thing I have Katherine as an intern already. Haha.
SO yeah, anyone want to help me think of a name for a management company so I can get this feeling as official as possible? My brain is shot as far as ideas go for that.
In 5 days I have to leave this beautiful city that has given me so much to love about it. Ugh.
But at least now I definitely have a reason to come back.
