In her first Indie Insider book, “10 Key Facts From Music Industry Insiders,” veteran entertainment publicist, journalist and creative entrepreneur Tamiko Hope brought together a cool mix of solid industry professionals. From execs at REVOLT, XXL and AllHipHop to HipHop Weekly and Sirius XM, Hope delivered the game from button pushers who normally aren’t vocal to anyone outside of their inner circle. She’s dipped back into her vast pool of contacts to bring the 2nd title of her Indie Insider series, “5 Key Facts To Building Buzz From Music Industry Insiders.” Once again Hope has gathered some of the music industry’s top leaders who are not only experts and respected in the business, but aren’t easily accessible. The 5 Insiders are Fadia Kader (Def Jam), Janee Bolden (Bossip), Chris Robley (CD Baby), Justin Hunte (HipHopDX) and Maurice Garland (“Art Behind The Tape”), who know all about helping indie artists and creatives build campaigns to generate buzz. “I started my career doing PR for indies, so this book series is a continuation of that process, as well as the love and respect I have for those artists who are grinding it out with very little access and help,” says Hope. Killer Mike has said this, “Whether it was me and the Purple Ribbon Allstars or Shawty Lo. She helped make us who we are and there and by, helped make this scene in Atlanta what it is. I think she is an amazingly brilliant woman. I think she has used her powers for good and the Atlanta music scene is better for having her.” In addition to writing both fiction and non-fiction books and speaking, the hardworking businesswoman recently launched a lecture series in Atlanta aptly named H.O.P.E, which is an acronym for Hearing Other People’s Experiences. The free event is held every month and features a different speaker from the entertainment community. For updates, follow her on IG & Twitter: @tamikohope!
