Beschreibung

Hello Guys! Before listening to this episode we want to put a disclaimer that there is mentions of physical abuse. In this episode of Music on the Beat, we take a look at the career of Sean Combs , an influential figure in the history of the music industry. From founding Bad Boy Records and launching the careers of artists like The Notorious B.I.G., Mary J. Blige and Usher, to building a business empire. We take a look behind his success, how he leveraged artist development, branding and ownership at a time when few artists were thinking that way. However, we also acknowledge that the full story of Sean Combs cannot be told without recognising the serious legal proceedings that have happened against him. We do not overlook this. While our focus in this episode is the business, we believe it is important to be honest that the same structures of power and influence that enabled his success also raise significant questions about accountability within the music industry. Questions that matter to anyone wanting to work in it. This is not a celebration. It is a case study.
