This how I like to describe the music business.

The people that's trying to get in it are running as fast as they can,

but they're running in circles.

You can be the worst person in the world,

but if the world likes your music, it don't matter.

You should want to be in this because you love being creative and you want to be great.

You shouldn't be in this because you're trying to get some money because it ain't enough money.

By the way, this business is all cap. Like not in a bad way, but once you start understanding the rules that have been put in

places like damn you don't need to know everything about the music business to

become filthy rich in it you need to know everything about what you're doing and how to sell it to the audience.

Yeah. If you know that dog you know how many people that were in bad deals

though Drake was signed to three people.

It has to work where it has to work.

Welcome to Circle Greatness. I'm your host Nia

One of the businesses I've been intrigued by is the music business right meaning from

publishing to how artists get paid like I'm not going to probably do music anytime soon, but I always just wanted to know, like,

because it seems like no one knows about the business.

I had the opportunity to meet this amazing brother, Pinky Cole's the session.

When I say the dude was just so brilliant and just business in general

I had to bring one a pod to teach me some of the music business and just so y'all could just hear a story about how's he how he is crushing it so

without further to do man I want to bring on my guy Ray Danes what's up man my brother
