Agent, I’ve had the opportunity to discover excellent talent in the right spots. Artists like these have been my clients from the very beginning. I’ve been able to be involved in their ideas before. Being a rep for the label, I can identify artists I would like to be a representative of, even though they aren’t signed with a label or aren’t old enough to be eligible for the signing of a contract. This is a win-win for me, because I have the ability to invest in these artists, and be confident that they have the talent. This is currently very effective. This has two benefits: I’m able release songs from those artists that I trust and help them succeed.
