“When I was a manager back in the day,” he tells HITS, “I was always involved in the A&R of my bands. My management company was A&R-driven in terms of our involvement, which is probably why I ended up doing A&R.”
According to him, when he was a manager before, he was actively involved in the selection and signing of new artists for his bands. His management company focused on A&R, which likely influenced his career path and led him to pursue A&R work.
