As my time here at WMG is coming to a close, I'm shadowing people around the office and learning each and every step in licensing a song, from the artist to the client. This week I shadowed a deal-maker. There are many steps in the deal-making process, and it was very interesting to see how they operate. She made the sometimes complicated process very organized and she can really turn & burn licensing deals!
We didn't have many big releases for me to discuss this blog. I spent a majority of the week working with the Flo Rida, Static X, Mastodon, Single File and Stevie Nicks releases. It wasn't a very busy week for me! I was also out sick for a couple of days...
WMG's transition to digital music delivery, instead of physical discs, will make next semester's intern very happy, and I'm hoping to be replaced by another McNally intern!
I have fallen in love with 3 WMG artists from Mali, Africa. Ali Farka Toure is an amazing desert blues guitarist, Toumani Diabate is an amazing kora player, and Amadou & Mariam is a pop-reggae group. I consider Amadou & Mariam to be the Michael Franti of Africa. I strongly suggest aquiring "Welcome To Mali" by Amadou & Mariam, and "In The Heart Of The Moon" by Ali Farka Toure & Toumani Diabate.
See you soon MN!
