Monday: Went to visit the director of Urban A&R at Capitol Records in his office at the 9th floor (he got a nice view!). I had met him prior to starting my internship at an Interscope party where his artist J.Holiday was performing. We talked for a long time, almost an hour, and I was blessed to learn a lot about Capitol Records and A&R. My dream.
Tuesday: Went to the premier for N.W.A. VH1 documentary, and happen to run into Charley Brooks and Nancy from Cube Vision. The documentary was amazing. I want to see it again! After the documentary there was an intimate discussion on N.W.A. and the life of Easy-E with Easy-E's son, ex-group member, film makers and the questioning industry professional audience.
Wednesday: My supervisor helped me get my resume and cover letter cleaned up as we are hoping to find me WORK! He also wrote me a stunning recommendation to put in my cover letter. I also got assigned to three other people at the office so I can build my skill and network.
Thursday: Went to one of the in stores for the group "People Under The Stairs" to help promote their new album Fun DMC and increase sales for the independent record store. They had a singing, but there where barely any fans there. It was very boring. Especially because it took us almost two hours to drive to the store in traffic, and we still had to make a trip back.....
Friday: We went to another in store for the same group. Technical difficulties took forever, and boredom kicked in again. I again, like the day before, ended up spending most of my time talking with Shawn Jackson, a MC signed with Tres Records, who was just as bored as I. After hours of music talk, he gave me both his albums, that much reminded me of the Roots and a Tribe Called Quest. We kind off talked about collaborating. But I already know it all depends on life, schedules and deadlines. You never know though.
