ATHENAMUSICMEDIAPRO

I am a graphic artist and professional photographer that works in the primarily in the music industry. I manage Generation Empty, Philly's top Industrial Metal band. I have done production work at some local venues, produced the JJX LIVE! show last year, and am looking forward to Producing and directing the new music showcase, Indie191LIVE! which premiers this Sunday, Nov. 15th, 2009.I am hopelessly in love with a P I have worked within the music industry in some form or another for over 15 years. I decided to leave the teaching profession three years ago and pursue my artwork and photography full time, which led into publicity and promotional work under several high end production teams. My interest in management stems from witnessing so many cases of how not to do it. I have learned that it is better to build a team of experts with whom to share benefits of success than to compromise the fate of my clients by claiming to know all the answers, or accepting anyting less than 100% effort. I try to always maintain a professional and positive face, and avoid negativity, drama, and anything that spreads it. I always tell my guys, "You cant drive while looking in the review miror." I have no regrets for anything past, except for one...that piece of shit car in my drive way - that was stupid as hell from the git go and I knew it.
