Troy Carter interview: Lady Gaga’s manager on the future of social media
Knowing user behaviour spells success – and how a teenager’s news-crunching website could be the next big thing
“The way consumers interact with music is different now. It’s not an albums business any more, it’s a singles business again and the industry has gone through that before. People are experimenting with streaming, with subscription services, whether it’s a Spotify or a Pandora or a Rdio. I think piracy itself is going to end up going away. If you can get something for absolutely free [instead of] stealing it, and the quality of free is actually better than the quality of stealing it, the choice becomes easy.”
“A ‘like’ [on Facebook] doesn’t necessarily translate as a fan. It’s a very passive relationship. It’s more important to have the one million diehard fans, than to have 54 million people who aren’t necessarily fans or they might have liked one thing you said, or one video. It’s being able to segregate those audiences and knowing who the super-fans are.”
“We think the future of social media are micronetworks and communities built around specific interests.”
Well said.

Zuckerberg stressed that entrepreneurs need to give themselves the flexibility to follow what they learn, and what they love:
“I have this fear of getting locked into doing things that are not the most impactful things you can do. I think people really undervalue the option value in flexibility. One of the lessons is…do something fundamental. A lot of companies I see are operating on small problems, and that’s fine if you want to be an entrepreneur, but the most interesting things operate on a fundamental level. Companies getting started now that are just trying to copy what other people are doing aren’t successful.”

Every time you hear it, it feels new. Classic is something that doesn’t sound dated in my opinion…timeless. Like John Lennon’s “Imagine.”..a Timeless record. It might sound “old”, but it’s timeless. The subject matter is timeless. ‘Imagine there’s no heaven, it’s easy if you try, no hell below us, above us only sky….’ that’s something that’s just as real now as it was years ago. Living beyond the current times and trends, which is something hip-hop doesn’t do enough. It’s less respected simply because it’s so scene oriented & temporary as a result of it being based off of selling culture. Before hip-hop was in its essence, before they even knew what the message was, hip-hop was bought and sold. Ultimately, that whole marketing scheme back in the day was to sell the hip-hop culture, the image, the lingo, the revolution that was going on in the South Bronx at that time, before they really figured out what the music was. That’s why it has continued to changed so much.Read the rest of the interview over at Artistic Manifesto -

Unique is what you have to be to break in the music business today, as “it is no longer this kid is good and get him dressed by a stylist… You have to wake up in the morning and have your own agenda,” Theophilus says.
His overriding desire to make music that will stick with his generation is his true source of wealth. - Stylelikeu
