What is spiritual business? Don't just throw words around for the sake of it. Business principles are business principles. When applied works for anyone. Salvation is an entirely different conversation.
@zeekdassah because Christians have refused to participate in business and interact, decisions are being made that affect Christians and there is nothing we can do. Why do you think God or Jesus is bleeped on TV like a curse word?? Because we are not siting at the table.
@zeekdassah it is ignorant of any Christian to avoid the world in the name of Spirituality. Jesus said "Go ye into the world and preach the gospel" doesn't mean interacting with the world? Go and read Jeremiah 28 and 29. We need to stop putting God in a box
@zeekdassah we live in this world and if we will further the gospel or even contribute to it in any way, we must sit at the table and that seat is earned. From doing qualified work in the industry. No one will hand you a seat. You earn it and that happens by working in the system
@zeekdassah also this your statement implies that Christians should not be doctors or lawyers or engineers... Because the music industry is like any industry in society. It is run by people. Not some machine and the people within it decide how the rules apply #Selah

Make friends with lawyers... These guys represent the first part of the team you need to build. and you will need them at EVERY point in your career... including managing an artist. Build relationships with as many as possible and pick one to rep you
Sign contracts. It is in your favour to document things. Unless you are also a fraudulent person, contracts ensure clarity for all parties so no one takes advantage of the other. Also note, the contract is always in favour of the person who writes it. Argue!
Since this Cynthia Morgan issue is entering my mentions when all I am trying to do is celebrate my birthday and sell my freaking book... I'm going to weigh in based on the tweets I have been seeing in line with the context of my book 🙃🙂
There is a lot of danger in coming to conclusions on matters you know nothing about. Fair is relative. Educate yourself. It is easy to be in your feelings about what seems right or wrong without understanding the terms and breakdown in trust
Yes the conversations about the business part of the recording process is to be done by the manager but not everyone has a manager and if the producer doesn't have a manager but is informed then he is right to bring it up
If you don't want to discuss those things with the producer then get your manager to have the conversations earlier before you get there so that end is sorted because if the producer is about his business, which he should be, he or she is going to bring it up
In 2008, I worked as a PR and marketing executive at an event and image consulting company in VI and I was treated well. But I wanted more. I wanted a bigger challenge so I told Kely dear friend and inspiration @iamtheOsagie#10YearsALearner#10YAL
@iamtheOsagie 2 weeks later.. I got a call from @iamtheOsagie and that was the beginning of an adventure…
O: Hey Godwin. Are you still bored?
Me: lol… You have something for me?
O: Would you like to manage an artist?
me: Who?
O: His name is MI
me: ok… send music
