Blastro, the web's leading independent urban music video site, has teamed up with NYC-based director Derek Pike for a new series entitled A Living By Living. Centered around people who are making a living by living out their music dreams, the series is a natural fit for Blastro's music and lifestyle programming - as is the director, considering 22-year-old Pike has directed nearly 30 urban music videos over the last two years.
Featuring NEXT, the premiere episode of the series takes you into the world of mixtape DJ turned CEO and founder of record label Amalgam Digital, which he started with a mere $500.
As NEXT says, "I'm always one step ahead - or I'm multiple steps ahead - in terms of strategy, and it's important to go out and execute on that strategy."
Young Riot, Amalgam's newest artist discovered through their user-generated content module, seconds NEXT's work ethic, saying," We don't have slack over here."
Learn just what it takes to run a successful label - Amalgam, headquartered in Boston, is opening an office in Atlanta soon - in today's uber competitive music business, straight from NEXT himself: http://www.blastro.com/player/blastrodjnext.html.
