956 Entertainment

About me:

What's up Myspace! This is my new profile - entirely dedicated to all things music. I have a rather diverse taste in genres (check out my playlist!), which keeps me away from tunnel vision, music-wise. I must admit that I tend to favor rock and metal. I'm a real estate professional by day, and artist management by night. I have a BBA in Finance and Real Estate from the University of Texas - Go Longhorns! When the evening hits, I go from real estate, to the music biz. I know, its an odd combination, but it keeps me enormously busy.

Music has always been a major part of life and being in artist management is simply an extension of that passion - especially since I have absolutely no music talent! Of course, having a business degree with a management and marketing background certainly helps immensely in this brutal business. I'm originally from south Texas (McAllen) and have lived in the Dallas area for a few years. I'm a big fan of the local scene and chances are, you've prolly seen me around town enjoying good music with friends. I support the local scene because that's where everything begins.

With 956 ENTERTAINMENT, I handle artist management and development for a variety of emerging and established artist/bands. This includes, but not limited to full management services, endorsements, marketing & promotions, press and bookings. At the moment, I have my hands full and am not seeking new artists. I point this out because I receive numerous management inquiries from local and regional artist each week. I wish I had the time to work with more talented artists but that's just not the case. However, if you have any immediate questions, shoot me an email and i'll try to reply promptly.

Please note that I am not a third party booking agency. I only handle select bookings with artists that I work with, so please do not ask me to book your band. However, if you need some leads/contacts in various Texas markets, i'll be glad to assist. Just email me and i'll see what I can do.
