The end of my Masters Degree has come. This has been one of
the most exciting and stressful situations of my life. I have learned so much
in the past year. I started out never imaging where this road would take me. I
have learned all aspects of being an Artist Manager as well as successfully
writing a business plan. There are so many things I have got to do by pursuing
my degree through Full Sail University.
The teachers are knowledge in what they are teaching and
many of them have played major roles in the entertainment world. Although I
took my courses online I still got to interact with other students through live
chats and phone calls.
Now that school is over where does this leave me?
I have had a few opportunities to learn from other people in
this industry and I have taken my eagerness to learn outside of the classroom. I
reached out to the manager of T-Pain to see if I could do an internship with
him, given I am fresh out of school and only have my education to go on, I know
I need hands on experience. Terrence Huggins, T-Pains new manager contacted me
and had me do a few little projects for him over the last couple of weeks. I received
a phone call yesterday from Terrence asking me if I would be interested in
being a part of the crew and go on salary upon graduation. I am overwhelmed with
joy and am so grateful for this experience I am about to partake in. T-Pain
took some time out of the spot light for a couple years and now he’s back and
ready to go on tour and drop a new album. He recently hired Terrence as his new
manager. This is a fresh start for all of us and I am more than excited to be a
part of something so big.
