When
entering
the
music
business
you
should
have
it
mapped
out
like
a
business
plan.
You
should
have
some
idea
where
you
are
going
and
want
to
be
in
the
next
10
or
20
years.

My
audience
should
listen
to
me
because
I
have
been
in
the
business
for
over
20
years.
I
discovered
Kid
Rock
and
help
him
launch
his
career.
I
have
had
other
artists
approach
me
wanting
to
be
famous,
but
when
I
explain
to
them
what
it
takes
many
never
return.

My
Iirst
artist,
Kid
Rock,
was
a
singer,
rapper,
musician,
producer
and
actor.
He
is
28
years
strong
in
the
music
industry.
We
had
a
business
plan
that
incorporated
every
angle
of
the
music
business.
When
Jive
wanted
us
to
change
our
plan,
we
left
them.
Atlantic
Records
saw
our
vision
and
the
rest
is
history.
