Twentysomething in the Music Biz

Instead of complaining about the way things should or could be in the music industry, my buddy Gabe and I have decided to take on the responsibility of hosting a meetup for all the various industry folk in their mid-twenties to network, interact, and more importantly, mobilize.

However, let me backup a little. Last night, I went to a meetup hosted by Derek Sivers at Crash Mansion. I have spoken to Derek on and off for the past 8 months or so whether it was to update him on what I’m doing or for him to reaffirm my beliefs that I am capable of doing great things if I sit down and act on my ideas. Anyways, during his impromptu speech, he kept talking about organizing and creating a movement in music. I kept thinking that this concept of a movement was easily applicable toward the business-side to give a voice to all the assistants destined for the big office such as Gabe or the starving entrepreneurs who needs the right team to surround themselves with such as myself.

It kind of clicked by the time Gabe got to the meetup that we should do something instead of waiting. When Gabe pretty much said what I was thinking, but said he had been looking for a wingman of sorts to divide and conquer, we knew that we were gonna make it happen NOW. Sooooooo stay tuned for details and specifics in the next week or so!

Also, please contact me if you’re in the New York-area, you want to partake in this experiment of ours, and include what your involved in the music industry is.
