Identifying Talent & The Power of Networking with William Gone SLAP HAPPY

    • Self-Improvement

Sup gang - welcome to Episode 61 of Slaaap Haaapy!!
I was super privileged to have New York native William Gone come through and sit down with rūku and I for a deep chat on all things music, marketing and hip-hop. Will has a strong history navigating many circles of the entertainment industry both in America and Australia and brought with him a wealth of information and knowledge.
During the conversation we covered a range of topics, starting from his introduction to the industry via the mail room at Madonna's own record label Maverick Records, to his time at Universal Music and more recently his adventures managing R&B talent Andre Winter. Through his tenure at Maverick and Universal, Will spent time with some of the most powerful people in hip-hop and has played a role in finding and developing American rap powerhouses Crucial Conflict and Bishop Nehru.
Will has a genuine love for hip-hop and an infectious energy when it comes to managing talent and unlocking new levels of hustle, the man genuinely lives and breathes this stuff and he was so great to chat to.
