Just another day at the office. My office has a desk, a computer, paper, pens, pencils, a mini clock and a picture of my wife and I. It also happens to have some decent recording equipment, a keyboard and a selection of nice acoustic and electric guitars. It's the place where I practice, write, record, network, find inspiration, lose inspiration, laugh, cry, curse, and talk to myself. ***Fun fact: 30 year rock veteran and legend, Nick Cave actually has a building connected to his house that he calls, "the office". He frequents his office like a day job. 5 to 6 days a week, 9am to 5pm he writes music and then returns to his wife and kids to enjoy the rest of the evening.
Today, after sending out my resume to a couple job openings, I reached out to April Potter Holleman from Creative Vision Entertainment. April is the founder of CVE, a relatively new management and publishing company. She is a 16 year music biz veteran. I decided to send an email to introduce myself and try to set up a meeting.
A wise business man once told me, the best way to get a great job is to make getting a great job, your job.
Cheers!
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!
