Mr Russell

From Garage to Stardom: Entrepreneurship in Music

A music entrepreneur is not only an artist but also a businessperson. They have a dual focus: crafting compelling music and strategically marketing it to reach the right audience.

They are involved in various aspects of the music industry, from recording and producing to negotiating deals and managing their brand. This multifaceted role requires a balance of artistic vision and business pragmatism.

The music industry has undergone significant changes with the advent of digital media and the internet. In this new era, a music entrepreneur must be adept at using digital platforms for distribution, marketing, and audience engagement.

This evolution has expanded the role of music entrepreneurs, placing them at the forefront of innovation in both music creation and business strategy.

    6. What is a manager? Are they necessary in today’s working environment?

    Managers play an important role in the overall success of a company. They are responsible for leading a team of employees to meet goals and achieve performance metrics

    Managers have a great impact, good and bad

    In organizations, managers make up about 70% of the variance in team engagement. They have a tremendous impact on whether companies succeed or fail. 82% of American workers said they would potentially quit their job because of a bad manager. The impact and stakes are REAL.

    I would say they are important but are not necessary. Some people need managers but some don’t.
