Vom Major zum Mindset. Julia Labonte-Stoy arbeitete über 25 Jahre in verschiedenen Schlüsselpositionen bei Warner Music – unter anderem als Head of Streaming und Head of Artist Relations. In dieser Zeit betreute sie international erfolgreiche Acts wie Charli XCX oder Robin Schulz und sammelte umfassende Erfahrungen in der sich ständig wandelnden Musikindustrie. Im Redfield Podcast spricht sie mit Alexander Schröder darüber, warum sie sich entschieden hat, die Konzernwelt zu verlassen und heute als holistische Coachin und Mediatorin tätig zu sein – mit Fokus auf die Musikbranche. Ergänzend begleitet sie als freiberufliche Artist- und Projektmanagerin Künstler:innen wie Frida Gold, die mit „Haus aus Gold“ gerade ihr eigenes Label gegründet haben. Julia berichtet offen über ihren Karriereweg, die Dynamik und Herausforderungen im Major-Bereich und wie sie ihre gesammelten Erfahrungen in ihre heutige Arbeit einbringt. Sie erklärt, was ganzheitliches Coaching in der Musikbranche bedeutet, welche Rolle mentale Gesundheit spielt – und warum Achtsamkeit, Mediation und eine klare Haltung für sie kein Trend, sondern Notwendigkeit sind. Ein ehrliches, reflektiertes Gespräch über Veränderung, Verantwortung und neue Wege im Musikbusiness. www.julialabonte.com www.redfield-podcast.de

Salt-N-Pepa, Usher, Prince, Diana Ross, Teena Marie, Chaka Khan, An industry veteran who currently serves as one of the directors for the Hip Hop Museum, Green outlines his career spanning five decades. This includes producing concerts and/or representing as a longtime agent for artists such as Usher, Prince, Diana Ross, Teena Marie, Chaka Khan, the Backstreet Boys - among othersThen there's the fine line between the grind in the streets and the hustle in the industry.  Mark battled with con artists, drug dealers and pimps and people trying to show off their local high profile at the expense of his artists. “I didn't get too caught up in that because I had to keep one eye on the money!” He stayed focused, even when distractions of every kind showed up on the road–drugs, groupies, out-of-control artists–and he kept many ships afloat when everything should have drowned.  But again, the show must go on. Mark's stellar reputation put him in high demand and working with Melba and soon Freddie Jackson, Dru Hill, Al B Sure, Grandmaster Flash, a young Usher and music pioneer Prince solidified his reputation in the industry. He would join Associated Booking Corp, where his talent for spotting rising stars and his love for hip-hop led to the signing of such game-changing artists as Salt-N-Pepa, Roxanne Shante, Kid & Play, and DJ Jazzy Jeff & the Fresh Prince.  He would go on to become Director of Marketing at EMI/Capitol Records and expanded again, this time into radio, promotions, and into the fields of jazz and rap, earning accolades in promotions and even producing, writing, and publishing successful tracks like "Remember the First Time" for singer Eric Gable and "Midnight Hour" for rapper Lady Spice MC.  Green moved as the industry moved and found himself in independent marketing and promotions consulting and secured a record deal with Light Year/Warner Brothers for his independent label, with singer/songwriter and R&B legend Teena Marie as his first artist. A year later, working with  Northstar Distribution, Green became General Manager, distributing music for Prince's independent label, where the purple one signed R&B music siren Chaka Khan and the soul-stirrer and crooner Larry Graham  on the artist's NPG Records. Soon, shaping his own destiny, Green launched Celebrity Talent Agency, representing a wide array of artists, where he's secured talents for tours, festivals and commercials nationally and globally.  Ever-expanding his vision, Green also serves as Associate Director/General Manager of Lehman Performing Arts Center, Chairman of Artist Relations for The Hip-Hop Museum (THHM), and maintains ownership of Celebrity Talent Agency.  The Show Must Go On! His riveting story of the industry's ups and downs and his own personal experiences will inspire anybody who believes in themselves to believe that they can live their wildest dreams!© 2025 Building Abundant Success!!2025 All Rights ReservedHeart Media @ https://tinyurl.com/iHeartBASAmazon ~ https://tinyurl.com/AmzBASAudacy:  https://tinyurl.com/BASAud

Episode 2 Live From My Drum Room, which aired "live" on Facebook on April 29, 2020. This is an edited version of the full version on YouTube. An episode devoted to endorsements in the drum industry and dispelling some of the myths. Viewers posted questions and comments and I've kept some of them to give context to the commentary. However, a lot of the questions and comments were edited to keep this succinct and on topic. Disclaimer: I based my commentary and opinions on my own personal experience working in Artist Relations for almost 30 years. However, the business has changed dramatically since I left the drum industry in 2013, so some of this may no longer apply. If nothing else, it's a peek into how endorsements worked in the drum industry during the golden era of the music business. You can watch the entire episode on YouTube and please subscribe!  https://youtu.be/S22tczW4sAQ?si=4-GNRTUMKAcdGDTzhttps://linktr.ee/live_from_my_drum_roomwww.youtube.com/c/JohnDeChristopherLiveFromMyDrumRoom

Nothing is bigger than you! Joakeem (our youngest guest yet) talked about producing Hip-Hop-J-Dilla-Haitian-Komba music, midi studio signal flow, AI studio assistants, why you need Twitch & Discord, and a thorough breakdown of iZotope plugins & apps. Get access to FREE mixing mini-course: https://MixMasterBundle.com My guest today is Joakeem Gaston a Boston-born musician, producer and photographer growing up in Dorchester, Massachusetts, and a graduate of the Full Sail recording program. As a first-generation American of Haitian immigrants, Joakeem was exposed to a variety of artists, music and people. Hearing different languages and different genres were hand in hand with his upbringing. Through his networking skills he learned in High School he was able to land at iZotope where he worked on the Customer Care and Artist Relations team. I met Jaokeem through his time working with iZotope and we got to connect at AES 2022 when I heard some of the cool vocal featured groove-based music he was creating. Joakeem is both musically and technically proficient in creating music on the computer so I thought it would be a great opportunity to learn more about some of the cool things that he learned at iZotope and talk about how he is making his tracks. I use iZotope all the time (and a ton for this podcast) but I also know there are many other musical uses we could learn about.

Even the biggest brands can't do what they do without some help from advocates and influencers. In fact, companies like Inkbox, MAC, and Calvin Klein rely on them.

En el episodio de hoy me siento nuevamente con David Hernández, quien es Senior Manager de Artist Relations & Marketing en Sony Music US Latin Label. David me cuenta todo lo que ha sucedido desde que grabamos el episodio 107 del podcast en abril del 2021, incluyendo su transición a Sony Music US Latin, cómo ha cambiado su perspectiva del mercadeo ahora que trabaja del lado del label y no del artista, el impacto que está teniendo TikTok en las estrategias de lanzamiento y qué buscan los consumidores en un artista hoy. También hablamos sobre qué personas debe tener un artista en su equipo de trabajo, la importancia de probar nuevas ideas y tendencias para saber si funcionan y el denominador común que ha identificado en cómo los artistas manejan el éxito. Tres "takeaways" de este episodio: 1. Todos los artistas deberían estar en TikTok porque sino están desaprovechando una oportunidad de que descubran su música. 2. Tú tienes que ser celoso contigo mismo. Si tú no eres celoso con tu tiempo, nadie más lo va a ser. 3. Tienes que tener muy claro qué es lo que importa en la vida para mantenerte enfocado, disciplinado y obsesionado. Sigue a David en Instagram como @davidhernandezpr.

Thanks for checking out episode 44 with Martin Potts who works for the distributor KORG UK in a role as UK Artist Relations for Paiste, Vic Firth & Mapex drums but also has control of the marketing for Mapex in the UK.In this episode, Martin and I chat about his history of playing drums which included him reaching grade 8 at a young age, but sadly due to problems with arthritis couldn't persue much in his playing career. So we naturally discussed his journey of working within the musical instruments industry and how he started working in a drum shop and has worked his way up in the world of musical instrument distribution within multiple companies to where he is today and how the industry has changed over the years.We also discussed some interesting topics such as artist endorsements and what Artist Relations at drum companies look for in new artists and how artists should initially approach them with regards to applications etc. Martin also talked about how he organises the marketing side of things for Mapex including social media content and how difficult it can be to get it right. Overall, a really interesting conversation from another side of the drum world that doesn't often get covered on this show.I hope you enjoy this free episode, please subscribe to the podcast via your podcast provider & YouTube, like and review where you can and share with anyone else who might be interested.If you've enjoyed any of my episodes, please consider joining my Patreon community via Patreon at http://www.patreon.com/drumforthesong/ for access to exclusive content, group video calls, competitions, giveaways plus 20% discount at http://www.motorhead-beer.comI'd like to give a special thanks to my top-tier 'Groove Master' Patrons for their extended support.

This is an interview from Bart van der Zee's excellent Drum History Podcast! I'm sharing it to my podcast platforms with Bart's permission.  Be sure to check out Drum History Podcast! https://www.drumhistorypodcast.com/About this episode: John worked for Zildjian for 24 years in a number of roles from sales all the way up to vice president of the company. I asked him to teach me how the industry works, and he did a great job of breaking down many roles in the drum world and how they all work together. John has personally worked with brands like Simmons, DW, and Zildjian - but these positions and roles are typically industry wide. This is a good way to learn about how it all works if you are interested in a career, but it is also a fun look at how the brands we all love work.Check out John's great series called "Live From My Drum Room" here: https://www.youtube.com/c/JohnDeChristopherLiveFromMyDrumRoomListen to John's and many other bonus episodes by supporting the show on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/drumhistorypodcast
