However, as a music executive, it is a difficult and time consuming task to weed through so many independent artists to figure out who the next breakthrough star will be. The web is saturated with so many wannabe singers, dancers, and performers, how can I possibly listen to everyone but more importantly how can artists make themselves stand out among the masses? Although today's artists no longer rely heavily on signing with a big label they do, however, still need label resources and experience. Furthermore, the old cliche that "it is not what you know, but who you know" is still very relevant in the current but everchanging music industry.
That is where companies such as mine, M3 ENTERTAINMENT, come into play.
