Speaker 1: Man Johnny Guitar Watson. Wow, please welcome to my man

Speaker 1: about what you cannot have a conversation with somebody that
Speaker 1: has Johnny Guitar Watson in two parks in the same
Speaker 1: conversation and ray Sean McDonald well does not get excited
Speaker 1: about that. Please welcome to moneymaking conversation, my man, Adrian Gregory,
Speaker 1: how you knowing, sir? Doing good? Thank you for for
Speaker 1: expending this invitations to money making conversations. I absolutely appreciated.
Speaker 1: And uh yes, Johnny Guitar watching the two in the
Speaker 1: same conversation along with Stanley Clark and the Solo Piano group.
Speaker 1: There's a there's a lot going on on multiple varieties
Speaker 1: of genre. Well, you know, first of all, you know
Speaker 1: I'm talking about the past. We're gonna talk about the
Speaker 1: current because you gotta go on currently, you know. But
Speaker 1: but you know, when you when you when you meet
Speaker 1: it your talent to I know that I managed Steve Harber,
Speaker 1: currently managed to manage Steve hard from two thousand officially
Speaker 1: from two thousands sixteen, I currently managed Steven A. Smith.
Speaker 1: So you're a talent, and so as as a talent,
Speaker 1: as a manager, it takes a lot, especially when you're
Speaker 1: dealing with personalities and it's kying to. I always tell
Speaker 1: people just kind of stay ahead of the ignorance when
Speaker 1: you're managing people, because you never know what's running through
Speaker 1: their mind or what's gonna happen the next day, especially
Speaker 1: with social media out there and they can just start posting.
Speaker 1: So back in the day you got to do a
Speaker 1: press conference. You know, if you want to come out
Speaker 1: there to start talking today, then you just wake up,
Speaker 1: not even wake up, they just roll over in bed,
Speaker 1: just start type. You know, which means as a talent,
Speaker 1: talk about what it takes to be a manager, but
Speaker 1: more important, what it takes to be a manager, and
Speaker 1: not trying to put you on the spot, but you
Speaker 1: had so many diverse, so unique, so many different new,
Speaker 1: unique talents. Talk about that experience, Well, first of all,
Speaker 1: I'd like to say, um, I watched First Take every morning,
Speaker 1: so I appreciate what you know. But but but to
Speaker 1: answer your question, what it takes to be a manager
Speaker 1: and so on, the words with artists is to really
Speaker 1: understand them, to talk to them, to get to know them,
Speaker 1: not not just handling their business. Handling their businesses it's
Speaker 1: really the easy part, but getting to understand who they are,
Speaker 1: how they operate, what they think, being able to understand
Speaker 1: what's important to them, and not not necessarily what's important
Speaker 1: to business or what's important to you, but what's important
Speaker 1: to them. Because now, I mean I've managed Shocked shot
Speaker 1: g for what thirty years now, and just recently he
Speaker 1: said he said to me, I trust you, And I'm like, wow,
Speaker 1: that that was something because I know what's important to him.
Speaker 1: I know if someone comes to me and want him
Speaker 1: to do something, I can almost tell them yes or
Speaker 1: no without going to him. But but you always go
Speaker 1: to your artists. You don't make a decision without going
Speaker 1: to them first. Even if you think you know what
Speaker 1: the answer is, it's it's not your place to make
Speaker 1: that decision. Is that their place to make that their decision.
Speaker 1: So it's it's really really important to understand who they are.
Speaker 1: And as you know, I also represent the Johnny guitar
Speaker 1: watch and catalog as an example, it's important to understand
Speaker 1: what the family wants, what's important to the family, what
Speaker 1: they'll what they'll accept, what they won't accept. But with
Speaker 1: the same token, you still talk to the family regardless
Speaker 1: of what the offer is, regardless of what you're thinking is,
Speaker 1: regardless of what you think, you may know about what
Speaker 1: their thoughts are, because their thoughts can change, and and
Speaker 1: so it's important to know what it's portant important to
Speaker 1: know what they want. But it's always important to take
Speaker 1: everything to man. There's nothing I don't take to to them,
Speaker 1: and because of that I have I have their trust.
Speaker 1: We don't always agree, and that's okay because at the
Speaker 1: end of the day, is their catalogs or their career.
Speaker 1: And you suggest things soon that's what your job is.
Speaker 1: To suggest things to them, give them alternatives if you
Speaker 1: don't If you guys don't agree on something, and then
Speaker 1: have a discussion about it, and at the end of
Speaker 1: the day, you're you represent them. So when you finished
Speaker 1: with the discussion, if what they want is is more,
Speaker 1: is more important than what you think is right. It's
Speaker 1: all about what they want. It's really important to say
Speaker 1: that because and also you gotta have answers. What you
Speaker 1: can't do is manage somebody and keep saying I don't
Speaker 1: know or let me let me check. You really have
Speaker 1: to be on top of your game. Correct. Oh, absolutely,
Speaker 1: you have. You have to go. You have to go
Speaker 1: in the business in general, and this is money making
Speaker 1: conversations in general. You have to know the answers almost
Speaker 1: before they're asked of you, before you ask the question.
Speaker 1: And it's it's like, it's not gonna be absolute. You
Speaker 1: need to do the best you can to be prepared, studied,
Speaker 1: research about whatever topic you're gonna be talking about. Yeah,
Speaker 1: Steve always, he's always you know everything. I go, Yes,
Speaker 1: I do, because if I don't know everything, then we're
Speaker 1: gonna have a problem because you're gonna ask me. So
Speaker 1: that means that you know because people always ask me,
Speaker 1: what ro do you watch? You watch television that much?
Speaker 1: I go? I watch a lot. I read a lot.
Speaker 1: I just know that I can't shut down because as
Speaker 1: a manager your information, you have to be a trail plazer.
Speaker 1: You have to be able to advise, you have to
Speaker 1: be able at least have a conversation by so many
Speaker 1: different layers, especially based on the type of talent that
Speaker 1: you're representing. And that's really the key to all of this,
Speaker 1: and so is that you have to be I'm not
Speaker 1: trying to say you have to be super smart, you
Speaker 1: just have to be knowledgeable. Yes, knowledge well, and that's
Speaker 1: and that's exactly what you're saying. You have to you
Speaker 1: have to read a lot. You you have to consume
Speaker 1: a lot of information, whether it's whether television, radio, podcasts, now, um.
Speaker 1: You know. For for myself, I've been around a long time,
Speaker 1: so I've been on a huge learning curve over two
Speaker 1: or three two or three years with this whole digital age,
Speaker 1: and it changes daily, It literally changes daily. So the
Speaker 1: conversation you and I are having right now, if we
Speaker 1: were having a specific conversation about some type of marketing
Speaker 1: promotion or or show or anything of that nature, by
Speaker 1: the time went off the conversation, it may have changed already.
Speaker 1: It really has. It really really telling the truth there
Speaker 1: for a fact, I remember just just a story because
Speaker 1: he's like me. We we transition. We started when you know,
Speaker 1: just email, when the emails, you know, we grew up
Speaker 1: in the cell phone era and then the Internet. But
Speaker 1: I remember when uh, Steve Harvey that we was we
Speaker 1: had a deal. We went up to New York two
Speaker 1: thousand and five, two seven, and WBLS up there in
Speaker 1: New York, and then we moved to Atlanta. And between
Speaker 1: two thousand and seven and two thousand nine was when,
Speaker 1: you know, social media was starting to grow. And I
Speaker 1: kept noticing that, you know, all the CNN or whoever
Speaker 1: on news had their little handles, their little handles, you know,
Speaker 1: follow me, follow me. And I was still resisting because
Speaker 1: we had like a nine hundred thousand fan club email base,
Speaker 1: so that was working for me. That was working for me,
Speaker 1: and so but I just knew that this social media
Speaker 1: had to happen. And and the reason I bring that
Speaker 1: up because it was in two thousand and twelve. The
Speaker 1: reason we got our talk show was because I grew
Speaker 1: his social media, and I grew on social media so
Speaker 1: much that it competed with Dr Phil. You know, Katie
Speaker 1: curic All our competition. The only person that was beating
Speaker 1: us in social media at the time was Llen Degenerous.
Speaker 1: And so so that's what you're saying right there, you're
Speaker 1: saying Richane, you know, you not only have to know
Speaker 1: what you need to know right now, you have to
Speaker 1: be willing to change. And also when you change, you
Speaker 1: have to be willing to see what what that what
Speaker 1: that change is gonna impact your your customers. So when
Speaker 1: he said he trusts you, that says a lot because
Speaker 1: guess what, it's a lot of things that are going
Speaker 1: on out there that can question him whether you're up
Speaker 1: to date or whether you are you on point? Are
Speaker 1: you start? So you still wired into the changes. That's
Speaker 1: a blessing man, that's a compliment to your talents. Well, well,
Speaker 1: thank you, and you're absolutely right. You do have to change, change,
Speaker 1: adapt and grow and when you don't know something, don't
Speaker 1: be afraid to reach out and ask. I mean, I
Speaker 1: consult with a lot of different people in a lot
Speaker 1: of different areas because it's it's you know, there's so
Speaker 1: many things that are going on, whether whether you're dealing
Speaker 1: with the law, what you're dealing with with uh uh
Speaker 1: ledgers and accounting, whether you're digital dealing with the digital media,
Speaker 1: digital media and social media, you have to be willing
Speaker 1: to to not know. Also, you have to be willing
Speaker 1: to reach out to people who know more than about
Speaker 1: something than you do. And that's important, and that's important
Speaker 1: as a manager. You cannot be afraid to not know
Speaker 1: when so when you go back to your client, you say,
Speaker 1: I can share this information with you. This is what
Speaker 1: I've found out because I've reached out to someone who
Speaker 1: knows what they're doing. They work on this every day
Speaker 1: because we can't work on every little thing every day,
Speaker 1: so we have to reach out to people. But you know,
Speaker 1: the interesting part about your career and the brand Atrian
Speaker 1: that you've produced is that, I know, man, when you
Speaker 1: have black talent, a lot of people don't want to
Speaker 1: mess with your talent. You know, they either have reputations
Speaker 1: or they feel that they have limited growth potential or
Speaker 1: and then as you grow that brand and other people, oh,
Speaker 1: I see now start to try to take advantage of
Speaker 1: their relationship or manipulate the relationship to their advantage. And
Speaker 1: then we have black music, mom, you know, which we
Speaker 1: know to recognize the role of black music. When you
Speaker 1: hear Little Richard his death recently, and and you reread
Speaker 1: the Franklin and all these legends that are out there
Speaker 1: that are pastors and are still alive, the Paddle La Bells,
Speaker 1: the Old J's, you know, all the individuals still like
Speaker 1: that producing great music. What's the hoarding of June being
Speaker 1: Black music month before we go to the next break? Well,
Speaker 1: you know, I think it's important that we focus on
Speaker 1: black music, but as I really personally, I don't like
Speaker 1: Black Music Month. I think every every month should be
Speaker 1: black music about absolutely, you know. You know, especially I
Speaker 1: think it was last year rap took over, which is
Speaker 1: a print primarily black art took over all of music
Speaker 1: as far as as far as value, as far as
Speaker 1: amount of sales and streams, et cetera. And so, you know,
Speaker 1: I think it's important to have focus and take time
Speaker 1: so everyone focuses on it. But I think you need
Speaker 1: to focus on it all year round. I think they
Speaker 1: need to needs to be events all year round focusing
Speaker 1: on black music. Absolutely. We're talking to my man Atrian Gregory.
Speaker 1: We're gonna be right back, Uh. I want to ask
Speaker 1: him about Tupac, and then we're gonna go Martin. I
Speaker 1: just got it. I can't be talking to the man
Speaker 1: who had two pack in his hands and not and
Speaker 1: not just saying who I consider the greatest rapper of
Speaker 1: all the time Rushan is putting yourself out there because
Speaker 1: I believe that be right back with Atroan Gregory money
Speaker 1: making conversations. It's finally here, the season of celebration. And

Speaker 1: to money making conversation on the phone was Atrian Gregory
Speaker 1: um legendary manager, talent manager. I would not even put
Speaker 1: my class myself in the class of him being a
Speaker 1: manage because this roster because I'm gonna just telling you
Speaker 1: someone you when you're managing people, it's really you have
Speaker 1: to be their friend. There, their parents there, the emotional
Speaker 1: leader there, there the confidant. You have to be when
Speaker 1: they're down. You have to always stay up, you know,
Speaker 1: and when they come to you for advice, you have
Speaker 1: to have answers. You can't take anything personal. When they're
Speaker 1: having a bad day, you can't take that personal. But
Speaker 1: you also have to guide them in the direction of
Speaker 1: I was seeing the best opportunity for them. You can't
Speaker 1: make solo decisions. Is their career. Your ego could never
Speaker 1: get so big to say I made them. I always
Speaker 1: tell people, hey, I'm great at what I do, but
Speaker 1: if I didn't have the talent in front of me
Speaker 1: to be able to do what I did, you wouldn't
Speaker 1: even hear or even know of Rushan McDonald. So a
Speaker 1: tupox corp um like the reason why why do the wish.
Speaker 1: Why do you say that he's one of the greatest,
Speaker 1: uh political speeches, socially rap, socially conscious, rap, uplifting rap.
Speaker 1: I consider Brenda's Got a Baby one of the great
Speaker 1: one of the all time great rap songs. Keep your
Speaker 1: head up, um, how do you like it? One of
Speaker 1: the great party songs. Um. Just just just an array
Speaker 1: of music and talent from a young man who left
Speaker 1: this world far earlier than we that I wish or
Speaker 1: anybody would have liked to have seen. So just talk
Speaker 1: to us about managing of talent as unique. He was
Speaker 1: an actor, poet, and h a vision area. Talk to
Speaker 1: us right quick, Atrian, Yeah, I think that boy that
Speaker 1: that that's a lot. And he was actually all of
Speaker 1: those things. And he came from a panther family, as
Speaker 1: as some people may know, and so they they spent
Speaker 1: a lot of time studying and learning and teaching him.
Speaker 1: So he had a wide variety of of ways of
Speaker 1: looking at things. That's why you could have Brent's Got
Speaker 1: a Baby, you could have Trapped, you could have how
Speaker 1: do you want It? You can have all those different songs,
Speaker 1: you know, and and in this time it is just
Speaker 1: so interesting to me because I remember when Tupac was
Speaker 1: accosted by the cops and and experience that we had
Speaker 1: then and and you know, he was accosted by the cops,
Speaker 1: he was slammed on the ground, he was beaten up, handcuffed,
Speaker 1: and then we had to go to court to prove
Speaker 1: prove a jaywalking ticket at jaywalking tickets. And you know,
Speaker 1: black young men really have to understand that the power
Speaker 1: of the police. And I know they're trying to change
Speaker 1: some of that now and and and absolutely needs to
Speaker 1: be changed. But the cop came over to Tupac and said, hey,
Speaker 1: he walked across street, you're jay walking. And Tupac, being expressive,
Speaker 1: was just moving his hands and saying, why are you
Speaker 1: askling me about this? Where you're hassling about this? And
Speaker 1: the guy didn't like a young man standing up for himself,
Speaker 1: But that's what that's what a panther kid does. And
Speaker 1: Tupac was absolutely a panther, black panther kid from from
Speaker 1: from that space. And so I just think it was,
Speaker 1: you know, important that his family taught him what what
Speaker 1: they taught him so that so that he could then
Speaker 1: go on and be who he was able to become,
Speaker 1: you know, through through a lot of people's support and
Speaker 1: including myself. That's amazing. Now, I was looking to through
Speaker 1: your bio and your catalog and information and different names
Speaker 1: popped up. A name popped up that may be the
Speaker 1: same name I know, And I love this young lady,
Speaker 1: Stephanie Frederick. Yes, yes, St. Stephanie Frederick is an awesome person.
Speaker 1: ACTS spoke to her this morning. Um, she's an executive

Speaker 1: the Oscars. Every year that stephanitiely does Oscars, she brings
Speaker 1: a young person to just tell her. How many people
Speaker 1: do that? Just hang out with her and experience that
Speaker 1: experience of experiencing the Oscars, what it's like to work
Speaker 1: in that world, what it's like to be on the
Speaker 1: red carpet. I mean, how many people do that within
Speaker 1: their company? I mean I think that's just incredible. Oh,
Speaker 1: you know, I've been knowing stefinitely. Uh. When I have
Speaker 1: to go way back to like ninety two when my
Speaker 1: comedy club, hip hop comedy stopped and she used to
Speaker 1: come there, and you know, she was on Fox News
Speaker 1: at the time, and uh, you should tell me I
Speaker 1: could be great, I could be special. So I know
Speaker 1: the value. I know that person that you're talking about,
Speaker 1: how many people, not many? And I know that you
Speaker 1: know she she's a firm believer of paying it for
Speaker 1: and she does not allow a male dominated industry to
Speaker 1: stop her from being great. And that's when and I
Speaker 1: just had to bring that up. I saw you one
Speaker 1: of the one of the individuals, one of the people
Speaker 1: on your roster, and that's important that you again another
Speaker 1: diverse roster again. You don't hang and say this is
Speaker 1: who I can only be. I can be more. Now
Speaker 1: let's talk about mellow moods. What exactly is that mellow moods? Well, so,
Speaker 1: so what happened a few years ago, just to give
Speaker 1: me a little a quick history. I um, I started
Speaker 1: putting out some more rap records again, and realize that
Speaker 1: I've gotten a little older. I don't you know, I'm
Speaker 1: not anymore want go hang out in the clubs. But
Speaker 1: I love music. It's just it's just my love. That's
Speaker 1: what I do. So I wanted to find something that
Speaker 1: I could do that was that was good and that
Speaker 1: brought peace and harmony to people because not a little older,
Speaker 1: you know, I need I need to wake up listening
Speaker 1: to pock And and Stanley Clark and a lot of
Speaker 1: other you know music that I like to listen to

Speaker 1: go to sleep to. So it's all, there's all to
Speaker 1: go to sleep. Pipe, It's all to go to sleep.
Speaker 1: It is so so Melal Music is a collection of
Speaker 1: three pianists that and and African American pianists. And I
Speaker 1: went to them and they're all jazz pianists. They're they're
Speaker 1: either teachers or or touring musicians. And I said, I
Speaker 1: want you to do something it's a little different for you.
Speaker 1: Play a little less notes um and something to relax to.
Speaker 1: And no one in our culture is doing this that
Speaker 1: I that I've found as as an actually producer, as
Speaker 1: a company or as pianist, because everyone wants to show
Speaker 1: how good they are. And they're awesome pianists. I mean
Speaker 1: one of one of them is the pianists for the
Speaker 1: count basis for what is now the count Basie Orchestra,
Speaker 1: So I mean, they're awesome pianists, so I just have
Speaker 1: them play a few less notes and play something that's
Speaker 1: nice and relaxing for people. And UM the name of
Speaker 1: the groups of solo piano group because it's a collection
Speaker 1: of artists and I'm putting different artists in there. As

Speaker 1: is legacy. I started with World Class Wrecking Crew, the
Speaker 1: Nine in the Night I worked. I was the tour
Speaker 1: manager for n w A. You know, put the digital
Speaker 1: Underground records out, the two Pac records out, MC smooth
Speaker 1: and some and some other work records. And you know,
Speaker 1: now now as I'm a little older, I'm doing something
Speaker 1: a little different. But that's all right there. But that's
Speaker 1: all right though. And don't forget I'm the executive producers
Speaker 1: sounding seks last two album. So so you know, I
Speaker 1: work on a wide variety of music. You know, I work.
Speaker 1: I work with Stephanie as you mentioned earlier, and you know,
Speaker 1: I think it's important to have that wide variety as
Speaker 1: you grow and as you change, because everyone grows and changes,
Speaker 1: and you know, running around in the clubs is not
Speaker 1: not the same as it was for me thirty years ago. Right,
Speaker 1: and I want to think that absolutely, and I want
Speaker 1: to make a note about that because that's why I
Speaker 1: brought up Stephanie Frederick. Because Stephanie Frederick is a is
Speaker 1: a content creation, she's video, she's vision that has nothing
Speaker 1: to do with music. You know, music can be introduced
Speaker 1: introduced into her work. And our clients include Universal Pictures,
Speaker 1: Warner Brothers, Paramount, and Disney. That lets you know the
Speaker 1: body of work that that you are, that you have,
Speaker 1: you have, the you have, you know this this this
Speaker 1: the solo Piano project that you have right now that
Speaker 1: that's going called the Solo Piano Group Project and it
Speaker 1: is out now May eight then in August roughly. I
Speaker 1: want to ask you, with the pan dim it going
Speaker 1: on in zoom uh streaming and being so popular, have
Speaker 1: you done anything with the team through using zoom or
Speaker 1: anything with the pandemic times that that could be uplifting
Speaker 1: and motivating for the people to who are locked in
Speaker 1: us still basically locked in whin the new normal right
Speaker 1: now with this COVID Nateen, that doesn't mean our lives
Speaker 1: are going to change. Yeah, so um, I do it.
Speaker 1: I talked at USC every year and and this this year,
Speaker 1: we did a zoom talk with with the class. This
Speaker 1: is a business class, and so I did that. Um,
Speaker 1: we are having the solo pianists record and then and
Speaker 1: then we do a zoom with them as well. So
Speaker 1: so even though they can't play live right now, people
Speaker 1: can still see them through through Facebook and all the
Speaker 1: other modalities you YouTube and Instagram and all those and so, um,
Speaker 1: we are doing that, and we're looking at doing some
Speaker 1: of some other things like that, maybe doing a bigger,
Speaker 1: bigger concert thank you, and and we're also look looking
Speaker 1: at doing some some talks myself and some of some
Speaker 1: of the other people that have worked with over the years,
Speaker 1: just doing question and answer session. So we're looking at
Speaker 1: doing a lot of different things. I mean, the world
Speaker 1: has changed, and even when it does go back to
Speaker 1: some type of normalcy, I think zoom and these these
Speaker 1: opportunities are going to be there because what that gives
Speaker 1: is the people from all over the world a chance
Speaker 1: to see here and talk to you know, myself, yourself,
Speaker 1: and and and and others that they may have interest
Speaker 1: and that they may never get to see you may
Speaker 1: never come into their city, but if they have Internet,
Speaker 1: they can hear them and they can see them, and
Speaker 1: I think it's a very good outlet for for for
Speaker 1: all of us. You know that not not only the
Speaker 1: content creators, but also the listeners and viewers as well. Awesome.
