We had the good fortune of connecting with Bleu Marley and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Bleu, how do you think about risk?
Taking risk is what defines me. Everyday you wake up and walk out that door you are gambling on life. Your life. Every day we rolling the dice. Rich people didnt get rich sitting down waiting on handouts. They got up and took risk. They gambled on ideas. On themselves and there dream. As they say “scared money dont make no money” this is true in life and business. you have to invest in you. In your brand for it to even become a real brand you got to invest in it. It’s a sacrifice. a risk that has to be taken in order to achieve success. I’ve had times when I made moves where I spent more than I gained just to build that relationship or get that plug or to stay down with this till sum come up is rewarded but always with a pure heart. U dont make it without taking risk. Even if they fail. U get back up on the horse and try to ride again or go back to the drawing board but u dont quit. U take risk. Shoot the big shots. You just might hit one…this is who I am.

Let’s talk shop? Tell us more about your career, what can you share with our community?
I’m an A&R/SongWriter for @uglymoneyentertainment which is a management company or label as well as a media company based in Atlanta ga. we have artist of our own, as well as manage a few artist that understand investing into themselves. I actually wear alot of hats. I find talent. Manage talent. Develop artist into hit makers and superstars. The main ghost writer on the label. I set up meetings and consultations with the artist. Give them the blueprint on how to become successful. Help with strategies to get there social media numbers up. I book our artist for shows. Set up feats for artist. Actually put shows together for artist as well as do my part on our song reviews weekly to help artist have opportunities to win things like going to a label of there choice….I’m out branding our label to the fullest. My main goal is to expose artist. I want the celebs or labels these artist looking to attract to actually look at them and atleast get em on their radar. Feel me. As well as brand our label and brand the right way while protecting our brand at the same time. I’m shopping our producers beats. Hell I even do the grunt work like getting my hands dirty if need be. Whatever it takes for the team to win. We strong as our weakest link. I’m not gonna be the weak link period and gonna lend a hand to the weak link if theres one to get he or she strong.
