Alright – so today we’ve got the honor of introducing you to 3MG Big Motion . We think you’ll enjoy our conversation, we’ve shared it below.
Alright, 3MG Big Motion thanks for taking the time to share your stories and insights with us today. We’d love to hear about the best advice you’ve ever given to a client?
The best client advice I could give another manager / A&R is that you can’t want it more than the client . A hungry person is going to do whatever is necessary to reach their goals . Enlisting you as their manager was one of those necessary means to get to where they think they want to be . With that being said , a manager is not an assistant or an investor . They may do that with discretion , but that is not the nature of the role . Trust your own judgement . Give 50% , but be sure that the client is giving the rest of the 100 .
As always, we appreciate you sharing your insights and we’ve got a few more questions for you, but before we get to all of that can you take a minute to introduce yourself and give our readers some of your back background and context?
I initially got into the music industry to ensure that a client would effectively navigate the music business because I believed in their talent and I genuinely wanted the best for them . And still do , but things work out how they are supposed to . My friend and colleague, Wade B. showed me a different side to the music game and I was off to the races . Music has always been a huge part of my life , so it being apart of my lifestyle now is no surprise . I am an overall Motion Maker . An originator . The Godfather of Motion . I am the CEO of Major Motion Music Group, L.L.C. (3MG) and A&R for HotProducersOnly . I manage producers and help fine tune their sounds and production . I provide services for artists and even do party promotion when duty calls . I also ambassador for different festivals such as SxSW Austin (Dj Holiday’s Hollipalooza) .
In order for me to work with a client they are to believe in themselves more than I do . Professionalism is non-negotiable and they must have top tier work ethic . They must have a budget to invest into their career . I can have all the resources in the world but if the individual doesn’t do their part then none of it matters . With that being said , if someone wants to tap in with me , I offer consultations for a serious inquiry . Im from Savannah Ga aka The Pote . However , my business is primarily ran from Atlanta .
Have you ever had to pivot?
When I first got into the business , I was so focused on building up my first client that I nearly forgot about myself . I constantly saw the client receiving gain from my effort but I received none . Then it dawned on me 1 day that I have value . I started building my presence and my brand as a result . Things went left with the client and myself . Luckily for me , I had already started building myself up because it was almost like I didn’t miss a beat . If anything I went up further because I had more time and energy to focus on what I need for me and 3MG .. Everything happens for a reason . This situation taught me to never forget myself .
We often hear about learning lessons – but just as important is unlearning lessons. Have you ever had to unlearn a lesson?
This is a tough one . I’ve always been the type to put others before myself . Being in this business , that mentality will have you in last place because everyone is out for themselves . Especially when dealing with friends and family . I had to learn to separate friendship and music . The best decision I’ve made besides consultation fees to ensure that whoever is tapping in with me is serious about their business .
