Ex-Major Label Exec: Chasing a Record Deal is a HUGE Mistake ft. Chris Anokute #286

The A&R behind Katy Perry's Teenage Dream says you don't want a record deal. You want a partner.

Chris Anokute has worked A&R at Capitol, Universal Motown, Island Def Jam and Epic. He's signed Katy Perry, Iggy Azalea, worked with Fifth Harmony and Zara Larsson, and managed Bebe Rexha and Grammy winner Muni Long. He breaks down what 25 million streams really pays back, a fair deal with your manager, and why big advances end careers. Then he plays Sign or Decline with seven famous artists.
