We’re always bombarded by how great it is to pursue your passion, etc – but we’ve spoken with enough people to know that it’s not always easy. Overall, would you say things have been easy for you?
Challenges we encountered were to carve a name within the industry by providing a platform that was artist-friendly withing the stigma of the negative effects of the fallout of the Labels.
So let’s switch gears a bit and go into the BCMG story. Tell us more about the business.
BCMG still continues to strive throughout the community quietly assisting artists through the nuts and bolts providing a multilevel platform of consultation services from festivals as large as Coachella to more exclusive events like the playboy mansion.
The latter part of 2010 has allowed the brand to move internationally as far as Japan, Australia and beyond producing tours concerts an marketing opportunities.
Has luck played a meaningful role in your life and business?
Life has been a series of trials disappointments and bad investments but eventually, you become calibrated to make choices with exact precision for extraordinary results that benefit all.
