Nkonkonsa Celebrity Gossip From Africa
Diana Hamilton, a gospel performer, admits that having the same management group oversee her music ministry from the start has been advantageous.
During an interview on Showbiz A-Z on Joy FM, Diana stressed the need of finding the proper music executives to work with for record companies, churches, and individual artists. She suggested that hiring qualified personnel is not sufficient.
She said that in the music industry, things don’t always work out right away.
“For me if anything has worked it’s been the same team. If anything at all, we’ve added on. We didn’t take out,” she told Kwame Dadzie.
The singer of “Adom” recalled how her manager King David used to accompany her as they traveled to radio stations all throughout the nation to promote music.
Diana observed that it is frequently challenging to find individuals with the knowledge to manage artists in the early stages of their careers.
Diana used herself as an example when she claimed that for a long time, she wasn’t getting paid for her music, but her managers didn’t desert her; instead, they have evolved alongside her and are advancing her projects successfully.
“My two managers came on board when we were not making a dime. When we didn’t have the following, when we didn’t know our way. So when they came in with their professionalism still understood what was in me and were willing and to invest and had the patience to wait for it to mature organically so that it can stand the test of time,” she said.
“People come in straight away, they try three months with somebody and they move on, so the investor or the professional comes in with all the ideas because you can have all the ideas but people’s minds are so open that not all the ideas can work in a specific time,” Diana added.
