 Aw, what's with everybody once again is Brand Man Shine and this video is brought to you by brandmannetwork.com because I signed myself. Now, this clip. This clip is another clip from my interview with Orr Major, rapper who's been killing the game in his own way and really developing it in the indie scene. He's definitely an artist to watch. And this clip is how he actually, actually got it manager. Yeah, straight for is how he got his manager, but how the situation even struck up in the first place. Check it out. It's the network. And what made you decide and recognize Duranicus is like, all right, it's a manager, like for real, for real. We can actually rock together. Because I know you were looking for one, but I also know, you know, you're smart and think enough through where you're not like, all right, just because he said he wanted a link or like, we can do that. Like, how'd you fill him out first to decide, oh no, like this dude, he delivering. So check this out. I was not living for a manager at all. Like, I wouldn't, it wasn't even on my mind at all. And he was not a manager. Like, none of that, he just had the playlist. That was it. And he loved music and he wanted to get involved. But when again, when I say like natural vibes and just energy and passion, like when we met and he realized he liked my music and realized like that I had potential. He started setting things up that I didn't even ask for. I think he set up a radio interview for me, like within a week of us meeting on Facebook. He was like, yo, I got this radio interview set up again. Then there was this huge Facebook page called Born Famous. He got one of my, he got my first single music video placed on that Facebook page. And so I was like ecstatic, like, yo, what? He was like, yeah, they want to know how I know you. Like, what should I say? And I was like, bro, I've been telling you like, since the radio interview, you might as well tell people you're my manager, you know what I mean? Because you're already doing the work. So after having that conversation, like I'm going to do it just him. Like the first thing he is, he started reading like about management, reading about music, the industry. And he's a quick learner. He put his mind to it. He got the LLC for the management company. And now we are, we are, we just learn like as we go. We don't want to know the industry, like, it's the network. All right. Now there's a couple of things about this video, but there's one big thing that I really, really believe that you should take away from this video. So first and foremost, I'm going to say that just the fact that Orin moves organically, right, and was able to sense some kind of energy, but he wasn't looking for it. That allowed him to really take the situation and analyze from a standpoint where you're not being desperate. So I think that's a benefit for if anybody can find something they will need while they're not in the place of need, it'll be beneficial. But when you think about the way their relationship even struck up in the first place, the fact that Juranicus was running playlist or reached out to him, got on the playlist and Juranicus was actually living on a different side of the country, West Coast versus East Coast, but he liked the music and he started to go to work. That just showed an opportunity that like when you find the right people, you have to figure out how to keep them in the fold. Like maybe everybody's not meant to be a manager right off the bag. For them, it worked out because now Orin is making $20,000 off of streaming. He's doing other things, touring shows, I've seen one of the shows, dope. But the other person that you might encounter, right, they might not be a manager, but if there's somebody who's willing to put in that work and learn right off the bat, without you having to tell them to, right, they're self-motivated, then you have to figure out how do I keep this person around? They might not be my manager, but how can we grow together? And there's so many different things that can come into play like that. But have those conversations. I encourage you to have those conversations because people spend so much time trying to look for this main thing that they're looking for. I need a manager right now or I need a PR person right now, but sometimes these other people come into the fold that are going to be quality. They might not fulfill that exact role, but it's so hard to find. Like not only good people, good people that are good for you invite with you that you need to maintain some sort of relationship. So then further on in your career, they might be able to fill that other role that pops up or they might be able to develop with you. They might end up becoming a day-to-day manager when you end up getting a more seasoned manager, depending on what level you need. They might become some sort of assistant. Whatever that might look like, keep all that stuff open, keep it in mind. But with that being said, if you want to check out this entire interview, you can check it out at brandmannetwork.com.
