Urban Artist: Canada Vs US-Episode 2

Bob Roper, President of the Bob Roper Company, was interviewed in this episode of Urban Artists: Canada Vs US. Bob Roper has been involved in the music industry, both in the United States and Canada, since 1969. He was a perfect person to pose the question of "Why Canadian urban artists have a tougher time growing on the world stage than American urban artists." Mr. Roper has been an Independent Tour Manager, Ontario Promotion Rep with A&M Records, Ontario/B.C. Promotion Rep and National Promotion Director for Capitol-EMI Records, Tour Manager for Supertramp, Marketing Manager with Concert Productions International, General Manager of Elephant Records, VP of Anthem Entertainment Group, and was Executive Producer for the Juno Awards two years running. He is currently managing well known artists, and is an instructor at the Harris Institute for the Arts. His very broad experience is perfect for the type of question we asked. In this episode, we discuss Mr. Roper's response.
