Joe The Boss Says Having Your Own Money As A Producer/exec Allows You To Pick And Choose Which Projects To Work With

Joe Davis Jnr., popularly known as Joe the Boss 313, is a professional multi-platinum music producer, mentor, A&R representative, and writer associated with Universal Music, based in Detroit, USA. He equally holds a doctorate and is a Freemason affiliated with the 33/95 lodge.

Also, Joe the Boss serves as the CEO of The Man’s Movement.

He often shares his work, personal life, and projects on his social media pages.

According to Joe the Boss, Detroit music culture was the original sound across the globe, and others merely adopted it from them. Some artists who carry the Detroit music culture across multiple genres include Stevie Wonder, The Supremes, Marvin Gaye, The Temptations, Smokey Robinson & The Miracles, Eminem, J Dilla, Big Sean, Tee Grizzley, Danny Brown, Juan Atkins, Derrick May, Kevin Saunderson, Carl Craig, Iggy Pop & The Stooges, MC5, The White Stripes, Aretha Franklin, Aaliyah, and Kid Rock.

“From techno to R&B, our sound influenced the world, even started rap. The beginning beat of rap songs was samples of Motown, and most of the biggest hits were samples of Motown. Just to refresh everyone, Michael Jackson is still the biggest-selling artist, and Eminem—this music went around the world global.”

The producer equally believes having your own money as a producer/exec allows you to pick and choose which projects to work with.

It gives you total control and independence by not being at the mercy of investors, studios, or even networks dictating which projects you should embark on.

This means that you have the creative control and ability to pick which projects you think have prospects, rather than following trends or bending to investors’ demands.

Also, the ownership profit is not split between investors, making it a little bit challenging to allocate finances to key areas you think should be prioritized. So you don’t work for a paycheck.

Moreover, you have the freedom to take risks you think you can compromise on without having to explain to others in case of failure. It also gives you room for faster decision-making without seeking external approval. You equally don’t need to compromise too much when dealing with talent, collaborators, or distributors, as it offers you stronger negotiation power.

Joe the Boss’ contribution to the music industry and his involvement in major industry projects highlight his significance in the Detroit music scene as he continues to groom and nurture talents across the globe.
