WHAT DID A TYPICAL DAY IN YOUR WEEK LOOK LIKE PRE-COVID-19 , AND HOWHAS THATCHANGED ? Honestly , it hasn ’ t changed much . I usually worked at least one day in Manhattan or would drive to a local coffee shop to get things done . Obviously , Ican ’ tdothat anymore . However , the routine has remained the same . I sign on each day between 9:30-10 a . m . and pitch , pitch , pitch until about 6p . m . Imight have a conference call with a client or colleague , but typically , I ’ m locked in until my daily tasks are completed .
I ’ m working on reserving at least an hour to myself so I can take abreak like anormal human being ( laughs ).
WITH LIVE CONCERTS EXTREMELY LIMITEDATTHE MOMENT , WHAT ELSE CAN ARTISTS DO TO HELP WITH THEIR REVENUE STREAM ? Great question . Live stream performances are popular right now , that ’ s one way . Depending upon your popularity , exclusive access packages might be good . Also , I think artists should figure out how to use VR technology to create interactive experiences for fans , especially when promoting new music or merchandise . If it ’ s executed the right way , that could be a huge revenue booster .
