Anthony Smith
Event Curator
Philadelphia,PA
Summary
I am from Philly, growing up my grandparents had a record company. My grandpa was in a reggae cover band, from being around so many musicians and people who loved the music they sung. Made me fall in love with lyrics but also supporting the musician and I feel that is my calling. I know so many artist and not enough contract negotiators, talent developers, or even just support. So that’s my role and where I come in, man behind the scenes, connecting dots, helping get stuff done.
