If you don't know her....you don't take the rap game seriously. 🤷♂️
I can't do her justice in this little description but just a brief FYI:
Wendy is a mentor and consultant for hip-hop artists. In about 1992, she founded the not-for-profit organization Rap Coalition, helping artists navigate the industry more advantageously.
She also operates the music-consulting company PowerMoves, which advises artists and independent record labels on options without sponsorship by a major record label. PowerMoves also helps artists gain direct investors apart from record labels.
She authored the book How to Get a Record Deal 📘
She negotiated Cash Money's 30 million dollar deal. 💰
She negotiated David Banner's 10 million dollar deal tax 💰
Also negotiated for Twista, Eminem, and Master P just to name a few 💰
Day organized the 1997 Rap Olympics, whereby Eminem, invited by Day via his demo tape Infinite to perform, gained an Interscope Records deal. 📀
Day also assisted Lil Wayne, B.G., Juvenile, the Hot Boys, C-Murder, Fiend, Do or Die, Boosie, Webbie, David Banner, Ras Kass, Trouble, and Young Buck, among others.
Altogether, Day's clients have sold over $1 billion of sound recordings 💲💲💲💲
This is a private Zoom call where members of the SEM The Label artist community were able to ask Wendy questions directly. She was so generous with her time and gave us over 2 hours! It was a master class in the music business for sure. We are forever grateful.
This video contains roughly the first hour where I interviewed Wendy. It contains an incredible amount of information on music marketing strategies in 2020.
