How Akon Stole Lady Gaga Away From Interscope Records

Signing of the century. ✊🏽

@Akon basically stole @Lady Gaga away from Interscope. ⁣
⁣
They didn’t know what they had. ⁣
⁣
He trusted his judgment. ⁣
⁣
He didn’t want to spend resources searching and investing into a brand new talent when someone was already at a label. ⁣
⁣
Gaga already knew how to record in a professional studio. ⁣
⁣
She already knew how to write for other people. ⁣
⁣
She already knew the music business was smoke and mirrors. ⁣
⁣
She just wanted to get her chance. ⁣
⁣
It’s like a big time high school b-ball player who goes to Duke and sits the bench for 2 years. ⁣
⁣
When he transfers, he doesn’t care where it is. ⁣
⁣
He wants to go where he is wanted and will get in the game. ⁣
⁣
Gaga got in the game and blew tf up. ⁣
⁣
This same philosophy applies to your business. ⁣
⁣
Your music. ⁣
⁣
Your social media strategy. ⁣
⁣
Find shit that the audience is already receptive to. ⁣
⁣
Put your own twist on it. ⁣
⁣
And feed them. ⁣
⁣
They are more likely to receive you more positively because of the familiarity. ⁣
⁣
That’s why you have to study trends and human behavior. ⁣
⁣
As sad as this is, collectively, human beings choose to be stupid. ⁣
⁣
We choose to be followers. ⁣
⁣
We choose to do what we think is cool as opposed to what we want. ⁣
⁣
Use this to your advantage in your business and in your content. ⁣
⁣
What artists have you modeled yourself after?⁣
⁣
Whose content have you mimicked?⁣
