Incubus Manager launching mentoring site for musicians

My name is Steve Rennie and I am a personal manager for a rock band called Incubus. I’m starting a new website called Renman Music and Business featuring weekly webisodes designed to help musicians and industry hopefuls get your head in the right place to do something great in the music business. Live weekly webcasts hosted by me and my cast of cronies with live call-ins from real people looking for a little help in trying to make their dreams come true. And a community site where musicians can post their works and talk about it with people who give a shit. Join Renman Music & Business for a no bull-shit look at how to navigate your way around the music biz. RENMAN MUSIC and BUSINESS (www.renmanmusicandbusiness.com) officially launches June 15th, 2012.

Interview with Brian Thompson of Thorny Bleeder Records

If this were a bio on Twitter, it would be short and sweet: “Music biz entrepreneur, artist manager, marketing guru, strategist, consultant, speaker, blogger & web designer.”

“Today, my goal is to find the best unsigned, independent artists and deliver their music to the world. I develop careers, facilitate business connections, negotiate deals, present opportunities, and consult on marketing and branding initiatives. I distribute music to record stores and digital download sites, chase down radio stations for airplay, and execute press and publicity campaigns. I preach about the power of the blog, social media marketing, and how new technologies can make your music heard. I understand the music business, the needs of an artist, the desires of a music fan, and the essential tools needed to help artists realize their goals.
