My First Artist (Potentially) - Meeting Tomorrow @ 4:30

Tomorrow evening at 4:30 pm I have a meeting with my first (potential) artist. He is a Baltimore native but plays during the week throughout the D.C. metro area. I work off of the Federal Triangle metro station in Washington D.C. and I've heard this guys singing in the metro for money. Don't judge... This guy is amazing and you won't believe it until you hear it.

I recorded him singing in the metro on my iPhone a couple of times. I took one of the tracks home and turned it into a pretty awesome song (at least I think so). I've spoken to him on the phone once last week after tracking him down on the internet. He has a YouTube video online as well which is where I found out what his name. Through the video I was able to get a narrow idea of what the guy was like and at first glance he seemed like a pretty ok guy. We set up a meeting for tomorrow in the city off the metro stop where I first heard him sing. (Awe, how sweet right?)

This first meeting will give me an opportunity to get to know this guy for who he really is. As much as you can know someone with in two hours that is. I want to ask him what's important to him not only in music but in life. Where he wants to be in 5-10 years with his music and potentially BMSG as his label. I think its extremely important to not only take notice of person's talent but also their personality, integrity, and general presence as a person. If all works out to what I would consider a "good start" he and I will move forward to make history. (Music; history; what's the difference. I dream big and so should at you) .

I have a CD of songs I've picked that I believe fit his beats traits as an artist that I plan to share with him to get a feel for what type of music he wants to play. If he does sign a contract with BSMG the label, myself, will ultimately have to make the decision on what get's put out but his input in not only essential but in the best interest of the label. He will know what is good for him and we can work out what's good for the label. My mind is racing on the what if's in this scenario but it's ok. Again, think big and you'll get big. Even it doesn't work out with him, as disappointed as I'll be, there is still heaps of talent throughout the city.
