Episode Title: Veteran Eye The Chief DIY

In this episode Durell is joined by indie hip-hop creative and entrepreneur Veteran Eye. Durell and Veteran Eye start off the episode talking about his early introduction to music and being heavily influenced by New York hip hop culture even though his origin is from the south in Greensboro, North Carolina.

Veteran Eye talks about although being true to the culture, it’s still hard to not get caught into the trap of trying to keep up with the mainstream to achieve success. He also talks about the journey ,the grind and early days of paying the dues along the way. The journey is where the real success lies. He also talks about the early days in his journey chasing a record deal in the early 2000’s. Veteran is always conscious about how to stay true to his self expression, while still having a career that’s viable that can bring in income and develop a solid brand as an indie creative.

Veteran Eye talks about how he found out about the Midem conference in Cannes France and how that played a major role in him being able to stay independent by being able to do business deals on an international level without the need of a major record label. He also talks about his ability to wear multiple hats between being the creative and executive in being able to provide opportunities to other creatives and music business entrepreneurs.

Durell and Veteran Eye end the episode by talking about the importance for indie creatives to have an understanding of copyrights work, the ability to use merch and VIP experiences to generate income that allow creatives to have a career doing things their way without having to sacrifice personal and professional integrity.
