How Akon Stole Lady Gaga Away From Interscope Records
Signing of the century. ✊🏽
@Akon basically stole @Lady Gaga away from Interscope.
They didn’t know what they had.
He trusted his judgment.
He didn’t want to spend resources searching and investing into a brand new talent when someone was already at a label.
Gaga already knew how to record in a professional studio.
She already knew how to write for other people.
She already knew the music business was smoke and mirrors.
She just wanted to get her chance.
It’s like a big time high school b-ball player who goes to Duke and sits the bench for 2 years.
When he transfers, he doesn’t care where it is.
He wants to go where he is wanted and will get in the game.
Gaga got in the game and blew tf up.
This same philosophy applies to your business.
Your music.
Your social media strategy.
Find shit that the audience is already receptive to.
Put your own twist on it.
And feed them.
They are more likely to receive you more positively because of the familiarity.
That’s why you have to study trends and human behavior.
As sad as this is, collectively, human beings choose to be stupid.
We choose to be followers.
We choose to do what we think is cool as opposed to what we want.
Use this to your advantage in your business and in your content.
What artists have you modeled yourself after?
Whose content have you mimicked?
