When the CEO Talks, Listen!

Hi everybody! How's your day so far?! Me, I had a wonderful time with my friends a while ago. They came over at my place for us to finish some school works. Gladly, we finished it early so we've decided to turn on my DVD and start singing the songs that we really like! That was fun! Now, my friend told me that he really wants to be an artist someday. Not impossible though because he has a lovely and calm voice. So that's why I told him to watch the video embedded below that I found in YouTube for him to realize what is the trend and the present situation now about artists in the music industry.





On the video is the CEO of WEA (Warner, Elektra, Atlantic), John Esposito. The CEO basically talks about how hard is it for an Artist to get signed in today's music industry, the labels in connection with the artist, how is today's A&R model changing, such as method of discovery and the basics of what really is a 360 deal is. The video was so informative that it definitely gave my friend an idea of what is happening in the real world of music. Thanks to the interviewer for this exclusive video. My friend thanked me and went home with hope in his heart.

Get it Straight From the CEO

Do you actually feel that you were born to be an artist? Do you believe you'll be the next big name in the music industry? Then, I have something for you today!

I was browsing some cool videos over YouTube a while ago and was lucky found this very informative video from the CEO of WEA (Warner, Elektra, Atlantic), John Esposito. In the video, Esposito basically talks about how is it to be an artist, how hard is it for an Artist to get signed in today's music industry, how can label affect an artist and what are the labels looking for. Also, CEO Esposito explains what's a 360 deal is, how it works, what's involved and whether or not it's a factor for singing. If you'll hear the answers of these questions straight from the composed gentlemen of WEA, truly you'll be enlightened and will be able to know what you will do if you think you are into music. The video is really informative. Check it below.




After seeing that video, how do you feel? Well for me, I can say that being a great artist isn't just about the talent, it is definitely more about your whole package as a friend to the people who surrounds you and as a person.
