Winnie Boy Genius @ The Deal Makers Networking Event

Over the weekend of Friday Sept. 17th & 18th 2010 I attended the Hennessy Artistry / "The Deal Makers" Networking Event in Chicago, IL.

I was invited by the Executive Vice President of Universal Motown Records Carlos "Tone Capone" Acosta

My first trip to Chicago ended up being one of the best weekends of my life...honestly probably the best.

I had face to face meetings with....

Lenny S. VP A&R Def Jam Records (Lenny is A&R to: Jay Z / Fabolous / Jada Kiss /Rock Ross/The Roots & More)

Omar Grant Sr. Director A&R Epic Records (Omar is A&R to: Sade, Shakira, Sean Kingston, Nipsey Hussle & many more)

Anthony Rich A&R Jive Records (Ant is A&R to T-Pain, Usher, Chris Brown, Justin Timberlake and more)

Walter Jones A&R Sony Music ATV/Music Publishing (Walter is A&R to: Lady Gaga, Akon, Taylor Swift, Wyclef Jean, The Game and more)

***As he was listening to the final track on the DEMO "Light Speed" Walter Jones was going crazy... stopped the track at the beginning of the 2nd verse and had me spit it a capella for the entire room for all the A&R's
