BACKSTAGE with Music Licensing Executive Rashad Richardson

Brea Graber • Jul 29, 2020

Discover a bit about our Nō Backstage guest, Rashad Richardson!

1. How do you describe yourself as an artist?
I'm not sure that I can call myself an artist. I'm more so the person that sends positivity and motivation to the artist. You could call me an enabler? I've been able to get a shy, very talented producer to step out from behind the boards and rap about donuts for an upcoming donut documentary. I take pride in inspiring that 'out of the box' creativity and getting the most out of everyone.

2. What's the best part of your job?
Landing a sync placement on behalf of my artists roster and eventually seeing their work showcased in visual media!

3. What's the best advice that you can give to someone who is exploring your career?
Set up informational interviews with the people who are currently working your "dream job/role".

4. What does socializing with purpose mean to you?
I try my best to not approach people in an opportunistic manner. Instead of trying to see what they can do for me and my brand, why not see what we have in common first? From there , maybe I can add some valuable input on the subject matter and then the conversation may evolve into networking. If not, then at least I've had a great conversation.

Join us for a conversation with Rashad Richardson
virtually on Monday, August 24th at 4pm
