While at USC, I was part of a small, by-application-only, experimental class co-led by the Head of the Music Industry and the Head of Digital at the management firm Friends At Work. On a weekly basis, we met with various artist managers who were knee-deep in guiding their artists’ next endeavors. It was our job to soak up any information the manager could provide, and then pitch them our ideas within the week.
