Tremayne Eubanks "Manager & Producer"

This pass week, i had the liberty of interview Tremayne Eubanks. He is currently working for a company called "Norman Music Group". Not only is he a manager, he is also a producer at this company . He is also currently managing groups and artist such as "LiL V & DAE DAE".


ME: How long have you been working in this industry, and what made you interested in this field of work?
Tremayne:I have only been doing management for 1 or 2 years now but I have been doing production since I was a teen and the thing that got me hooked on the industry was the fact that it gave me the opportunity to network and be creative.

ME: Have there ever been any major challenges you faced, including with the artist’s you manage?
Tremayne:Definitely have had a number of challenges, one of the biggest is just the willpower to keep perusing your passion even when it seems like things don’t go your way. The major challenge with artist is scheduling and dealing with different personalities.

ME: How did you work through these challenges to get the job done?
Tremayne:Sometimes I have to take myself away from the situation to allow myself time to clear my head and then go back in and get it done.

ME : Are there any other experiences that you would like to share?
Tremayne:Just make sure you don’t allow yourself to get discouraged because there are going to be some tough times ahead, and remember that your degree doesn’t guarantee you ANYTHING in the industry

ME: Since I am interested in working in this industry, what advice would you give me?
Tremayne:Make sure you stay in the loop and updated with all the latest trends as well as knowing the legal side of the industry. Network ever chance you get. And don’t be afraid to speak your mind if there is something that you are not clear about or satisfied with.

ME: What do you think are the important qualities you have to have to be successful in this Field?
Tremayne:You defiantly have to be driven and self motivated and you can’t be afraid to meet and greet.

ME: What would you consider the hardest thing about this field of work?
Tremayne:Getting you foot in the door

ME: What do you think about your experience so far, and could you see yourself doing this for a few more years?
Tremayne:It has been a great ride so far, I am still learning and if things go the right way I can see myself doing this as long as I a physically able to.

I have really enjoyed conducting  this interview with Tremayne. From this i will always be encourage to keep networking to get my foot in the door. When dealing with certain situations, it maybe be best to just walk away and come back to it later. I will continue to follow Tremayne on his journey, as well as staying driven and motivated to work in the entertainment field.
