Making It with Chris G.

Chris G. has been in the Music Business since 2006 as a concert promoter, artist manager, and booking agent. “Making It” is not about being on top of the charts, winning mainstream awards, or having millions of social media followers. Though those things are nice, that’s a very small percentage of the industry. “Making It” is about having conversations with people that do what they love full time, instead of being stuck with a career they hate. Throughout his journey, Chris has met many inspiring individuals who have in his eyes “made it” and who have an abundant amount of stories and wisdom that should be shared with the world of aspiring creatives, musicians, actors, athletes, and entrepreneurs. The objective of this podcast is to educate and motivate individuals by sharing stories of people who are “making it” every day.

Jun 25, 2020

It’s tough for one to do a lot of things great at one time, but one can do a lot of great things over a career or lifetime. Camille Barbone is a true polymath of the music business. She got her start working at Columbia Records as the Manager of New Release Coordination, which gave her the opportunity to work with all 28 different departments of a major label. This lead her to open her own recording studio in New York City, where she discovered, developed, and managed superstar artist Madonna. 

In this conversation, we talk about Camille’s journey of the music business, labels, artist management, what makes a good manager, and much more.
