What's going on everybody? My name is John, aka 'cashbandicoot', and I'm a hip-hop A&R in the music industry. I wanted to formally introduce myself on here. I've made a few posts, but I figured I'd hop on the introduce yourself bandwagon as well.
Anyway, I'm from the Philadelphia region in the good 'ol U.S.A. but I do work quite frequently in New York City.
What is an A&R you might ask? Well, have you ever wondered how music acts get signed? It isn't as if an artist goes to a radio station, hands them a demo disc, and then they get their song played! No, in reality, there is a man in the middle who acts as a gatekeeper who brings these artists to a label. They usually act as management as well.
I wish I could tell you guys which label I work for... let's just say the President of the label is an extremely successful rapper with multiple platinum records. But, got to keep it a secret for now!
