Mani Nordine is a music industry veteran who manages artists like Snoop Dogg and Akon, and this conversation reveals why mixing family with business always fails, how ego isn't your amigo but you need it to succeed, and why passion beats any strategy.
Learn why artists need managers from day one because early mistakes haunt careers forever, how emotion in business destroys relationships when you work with family, and why he never involves himself in the creative process—his job is guiding, not making the art. This covers why ego is essential for superstars even though you finish alone, how digital production and algorithm demands killed music quality, and why rappers struggle with ageing because they eventually become what they once criticised.
