We’re excited to introduce you to the always interesting and insightful Eric Jones JR. We hope you’ll enjoy our conversation with Eric below.
Eric, appreciate you joining us today. When did you first know you wanted to pursue a creative/artistic path professionally?
When my parents were married, my dad played in a music band with him and his friends. They used to practice all night and sometimes in to the early am. When I was around 9 or 10 years old, I used to listen to my pops and his band playing while trying to get sleep. Around the age of 12 my mother and my father went through a divorce. After the divorce my dad gave me two keyboards and my father told me to put them to use. Around that age is when I figured out that music is something that I wanted to take serious and pursue.
Great, appreciate you sharing that with us. Before we ask you to share more of your insights, can you take a moment to introduce yourself and how you got to where you are today to our readers.
We’d love to hear the story of how you built up your social media audience?
When you promote on social media, you have to engage and communicate with people. Taking a hour out of your day to just engage and network with people will do you wonders. You can’t depend on your family, friends, and, coworkers to support you all the time. You have to reach out, meet new people, travel, shake hands, and build your brand. That’s more of the organic way to grow your fan base. You can’t sell anything with buyers and you can’t get people to listen to your music without gaining listeners. Period!
Are there any books, videos, essays or other resources that have significantly impacted your management and entrepreneurial thinking and philosophy?
Rick Ross: The perfect way to boss up. It’s a great book and has helped me with my business endeavors. I recommend this book to anyone starting a business.
