Many people think that an A&R person spends eight hours a day listening to tapes. Would you tell our readers what a day in the life of an A&R person is really like?
I probably listen to, at the most, two hours of music a day that are in the demo form. Usually at least a half an hour to an hour per day of that is during my commute from my house to the office. I would say that 80-percent of my time is spent either in meetings or on the phone. I get between 50 and 75 phone calls a day from lawyers, managers, producers, studio owners, club promoters, agents, songwriters, of course artists, you name it, ASCAP and BMI, independent label owners, retail distributors I talk to a lot of different people during the course of a day.
