We were lucky to catch up with Tristan Butler recently and have shared our conversation below.

Tristan, thanks for taking the time to share your stories with us today We’d love to hear about when you first realized that you wanted to pursue a creative path professionally.

I always knew I wanted to be in the entertainment industry but not in the way I’m doing it now. It all started in my senior year at Norfolk State University at my internship. The internship I enrolled in was with a local TV show in my area called BME Presents. During this internship I learned that this was not only a TV Station but also a record label. After I graduated college I continued to hang around and learn from the executives on the label and learned from them and started to travel with them and participate in different music industry events they were apart of. Once they signed an artist I started to build a solid relationship with him and my career grew from that point on.

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.

I got into the industry through one of my mentors at the internship I was employed at. The time I spent there was very rewarding in so many ways and I learned so much just from taking the time to sit and talk and listen to the ones that did things on a major scale before me. As for me and my business, the service that I provide is Music Management. The problems that I solve for my clients is day to day operations and pretty much prevent problems from happening. For me I do things as such as acting as a liaison between my client and the potential venues, I secure financial obligations and check on the wellbeing of the clients that I’m managing at the time. One of my most proudest moments is getting my artist a track with a major artist and set up a full press run for him. The main thing that sets me apart from others is that I’m not afraid to get up and go and move around and do the work.

What can society do to ensure an environment that’s helpful to artists and creatives?

I’m my view society can do a better job at supporting the creatives and not just waiting till the person gains a certain level of popularity and fame. There have been multiple cases where I have seen artists that fall to the waist side due to not having the support and I don’t ever want to contribute to the downfall of an artist mindset and not being the support to them.

Can you share a story from your journey that illustrates your resilience?

A time when I had to show resilience was when I got my artist a feature with platinum artist Da Baby and had to deal with the business side of things and had to constantly call to get clearance for the song and prepare for a proper rollout of the single.
