so we were told that we were allowed to choose our own subject matter to market and blog about. It took me a while to link something i'd want to market with how i want to use my arts management degree. I took arts management because I want to market/promote music (artists, bands, rappers, groups, etc). I have a friend who is an up and coming rapper. His style of rapping is pretty unique as well. Not unique like every other rapper is unique, but really different. He uses parody and spoofing in his lyrics and music. It's almost as if he's mocking without disrespect to well known artists. He really has a talent and it makes me anxious to see if he'll really make it. I believe he should-with his talent and everything-but now, its so hard to get to a point of recognition. It's ironic that I'm taking this class because it pretty much landed in my lap. Now, I have this opportunity to help him, not only for him, but because I believe those with talent should all get a real chance to make a life out of what they love. His name is Charles Buko. He is a former Purchase College student and now lives in Long Island, NY and is very hard working. He works all week and collects gigs, battles and performances any night he can, not only weekends. He has no preference-he just wants to get heard because he knows what he has. He's never negative, always has his head up. He's a real down to earth guy. I believe in marketing the person themselves, not only their talent. His art speaks for itself-anyone who listens to him knows he has what it takes to get heard, but no one knows him. I think I'm going to dedicate a lot of my blogging to his actual personality and other activities he dedicates himself to other than performing and writing. I'll incorporate that too, of course, but I'll do both.
