I've Learned....

...So..my initial plan for me & music is becoming a performer/artist. That's my dream and what I ultimately want my career to be at some point. But I also have other passions. One of them is what I'm going to school for, which is music business. What i wanna do with that is use that degree to start a artist management company. Before I choose this path, what I originally wanted to be is an A&R. But after coming to McNally I've found out that this A&R job has really become an old idea that has basically died out. SO, after hearing this, i was told that the kind of job that i wanna do with artists has been shifted to management. I was surprised to say the least. For two reasons; One, I had no idea that the job was dying (or dead) and two, that the school (and there staff...you know who you are...ha) would be as honest to let me know this fact and not send me off on a "blank mission."

Besides learning this, I've really started to discover from school that a lot of the moves and control in the industry is gonna be put/based on the web (social networks, blogs, etc.). Its a tool to be used..not ignored or abused (yes that rhymed..). Any-who, I've learned so much all ready in such a little time and this is just my first year here..so may I say that me and McNally (the school...not the man) are becoming like this *crosses fingers* :) PEACES..
