Internship

Booking Agent

So far, I’m still continuing to work as Booking Agent for the SCMC Music Conference.

I still find panelists that will join our conference around the country.

Some of the big names that I have booked recently are MDL, who has produced the #1 hit “Boyfriend” by Justin Bieber.

Warren Oak Felder, who has done some of Chris Browns old productions, along with Elle Varners new album. Most recently he has produced on Rihanna’s new album “Unapologetic.

A&R Intern Consultant

I’m still continuing to work as an A&R Intern Consultant. People send their music in to my email and I will listen and give feedback.

If I see an interest in their music, I will invite them out to one of our conferences where they can perform in front of our panel of A&Rs from Def Jam records, Konvict, and Atlantic.

I have helped two artists perform at our Atlanta, GA conference.

Gwen Bunn

I first discovered the neo-soul artist Gwen Bunn on 106 & Park. She was a contestant on 106 and park and I was instantly fell in love with her voice. I got in contact with her through twitter and we began to exchange emails where I eventually invited her to one of our conferences.

She did an amazing job performing and Tmah from “Konvict Records” was interested in following up with her afterwards the conference.

Panel

On December 1st, I went to Atlanta to help with the conference. I was asked to sit on the panel since I have been doing a really good job with the internship.

This was a nerve racking experience, but a once in a lifetime chance!

I got to judge the beat battle, where the winner got a 1 on 1 A&R consulting time with Amber from Def Jam.

I also gave artists advice about building their brand and how they could improve their music.

That’s me! (2nd from the left)

What I’ve learned from Lisa Davis.

The huge thing that I’ve learned from Lisa Davis is to never be afraid to make connections. My confidence has definitely taken a step up since taking this internship. I’m not afraid to talk to strangers anymore.

FOLLOW UP! This is the most important thing you can do. Following up with artists, producers, managers, songwriters, etc. Everyone has a busy schedule, but if you’re waiting on a reply from them. A nice email reminding them can never hurt.

Everything is a learning experience. I had an artist come out to the SCMC. He forgot his song halfway through. I brought him out, so he felt bad that he made me look bad. I worked with him on his music, and he’s coming back to another conference in March 2013.

HARDWORK PAYS OFF!

Lisa Davis Music Group has treated me like family. “This is only the beginning…” is what I keep telling myself.

Soon, I will get to travel around the country to conferences. I am suppose to travel to LA December 15th and Nashville in January. All expenses paid.

I am truly blessed for this opportunity and have learned so much from my mentors Lisa Davis, Taira Daniels, and Kash Johns.
