In an exclusive interview with Music Times UK, Tony DeYoung, the founder of Tony DeYoung Entertainment, opens up about his experiences in the music industry and the importance of authenticity.
*Music Times UK:* Tony, you’ve had a successful career in the music industry, working with notable names like Roc Nation and Universal Music Group. What advice would you give to emerging artists?
*Tony DeYoung:* My advice would be to stay true to yourself and your art. Don’t try to follow trends or fake it for the sake of fame. Authenticity is key to building a loyal fanbase and creating meaningful music.
*Music Times UK:* You’ve been open about your experiences with some independent artists and companies. Can you tell us more about that?
*Tony DeYoung:* Yes, I’ve had to cut ties with some artists who weren’t being honest about their financial situation. They relied heavily on me for support, and it became clear that they weren’t capable of taking care of themselves. As a successful artist and entrepreneur, I have to prioritize my own needs and surround myself with people who share my values.
*Music Times UK:* That’s a valuable lesson for many artists. How do you think the music industry can better support emerging talent?
*Tony DeYoung:* I think the industry needs to focus on nurturing talent and providing resources for artists to grow. It’s not just about signing deals or getting fame; it’s about building a sustainable career. As an artist and entrepreneur, I’m committed to helping others achieve their goals and succeed in the industry.
*Music Times UK:* Finally, what’s next for Tony DeYoung Entertainment?
*Tony DeYoung:* We’re always looking for new talent and opportunities to collaborate with other artists. Our goal is to continue pushing the boundaries of what’s possible in the music industry and to support artists who share our vision. With his commitment to authenticity and supporting emerging talent, Tony DeYoung is poised to continue making waves in the music industry.
