What gave you the idea for your business and how did it start?
I initially started the company as solely production. I was signed as a recording artist to a subsidiary of Virginia/UK November Entertainment. It was a life changing experience as I found that the time in attention needed to really reach my full potential as an artist wasn’t readily available. I took it upon myself to fill the gaps to fully develop myself as an artist, producer, and business man. As a result, DaddyBoy Ent. was born.
What’s your favorite thing about your job?
The creation process. Taking something that is a vision or an idea in your mind and making it tangable, and truly helping artists realize their fullest potential.
What are you keys to making yourself productive?
Tell us one long-term goal in your career?
To win a Grammy!
What’s the most valuable lesson you’ve learned through the course of your career?
You will hear 10 ‘No’s for every 1 ‘Yes’. Let the ‘No’s be your motivation. It only takes one opportunity to catapult you to the next level. Be your biggest cheerleader. If you don’t think you can do it…someone else will.
What advice would you give others aspiring to succeed in your field?
Don’t stop!! Your gifts are your own! If you can see it, then you can attain it. You get out what you put in.
