About a year ago, I was interviewing for music/entertainment marketing jobs in NYC. After being rejected from every position I applied for, I decided the corporate world wasn't for me and I would go back to school to get my Master's degree in music and focus on becoming a professional songwriter. Through the interview process, I met a very successful business man named Marcus Peterzell. Marcus is currently VP of Marketing for a prestigious entertainment marketing firm in New York. Before this job, however, Marcus was a player in the music biz. Among many other positions, he actually happened to be manager for the 'The Cure'!
Tonight I emailed Marcus to try and reconnect... I figured I'd let him know what I was up to, send him some links to my stuff, and see if he could lead me anywhere or to anyone. Shot in the dark, but who knows?? I think that's the beauty of this blog/project... you'll never know if you don't ask.
Alright, feeling inspired...time to do some writing...
CHAPTER 2: NASHVILLE - The purpose of this blog is to network with at least 1 music industry professional every business day for 365 days with the goal of "making it" as a songwriter/recording artist. Below I will document my efforts, successes, failures and lessons learned daily. Stay tuned!
