Maaan this video brings back memories! When I first started my company, I had no way to get around recording artists until I came up with the bright idea to frequent recording studios. My only problem was - I didn't know anyone that owned one! Luckily, I befriended a guy who at the time was a studio engineer at S Line studios.
I'm thinking I've got a solid connection to get into the studio, but now what? Light bulb moment : Why not get a little flip camera and ask to interview the somewhat unknown artists that were on the cusp of stardom - ask them one specific question and give them a chance to shout out their twitter and Facebook and they can upload the interview onto their website? Hmmm....
Well, that idea worked! And within a few weeks of me frequenting S Line, I was able to snag interviews with artists like B.O.B. Soon after that, I had access to just about all of the major recording studios in Atlanta. Once my face became more familiar with A & R's and some of the artists managers, I began to network better -which eventually led to me signing my first client. And the rest my friends is PURPLE HISTORY :)
P.S. I will indeed be bringing back Purple Label PR T.V .... In a MIGHTY WAY!
