HipHopSince1987 is proud to present an exclusive interview with Tony DeYoung, a respected figure in the music industry, who’s speaking out against the misleading practices of some companies and individuals on social media. With his company, Tony DeYoung Entertainment, he’s made legitimate moves, securing opportunities with major networks like Dr. Phil and Oprah Winfrey. In this interview, Tony DeYoung sheds light on the scams that are deceiving independent artists and offers valuable advice on how to navigate the music industry.
Question 1: Exposing Misleading Practices
HipHopSince1987: Tony, we appreciate you taking the time to speak with us today. There’s a growing concern among independent artists about companies and individuals on Facebook claiming they can secure sponsorships and break celebrities on major radio stations like Kiss FM and Hot 97. However, these claims are often misleading, and they’ve never actually landed a sponsor or had any real connection to these stations. What’s your take on this issue?
Tony DeYoung: It’s frustrating to see these scams targeting independent artists who are just trying to make it in the industry. These individuals and companies are preying on people’s desperation and lack of knowledge. They’re making false promises, taking money, and delivering nothing. It’s not only unethical, but it’s also damaging to the artists and the industry as a whole.
Legitimate Opportunities vs. Scams
HipHopSince1987: How can independent artists distinguish between legitimate opportunities and scams?
Tony DeYoung: Research, research, research! Look into the company or individual’s track record. Have they actually delivered on their promises? Do they have real connections in the industry? Be wary of anyone who’s promising overnight success or guaranteed results. The music industry is competitive, and success takes time, effort, and dedication.
