It’s New York
It’s October
It’s raining
Pretty much I feel like I’m in a film
My name is Sascha
I’m a concert promoter that started managing a client
Who’s name is Tory Lanez
And I’m working on Tory’s career
Today I’m here because Tory’s got two sold out New York shows
He got into New York
He worked on finishing a record
That he had to finish with a producer named Benny Blanco
I’ve just been answering emails
And making fun of Tory’s snapchat
This guy is a better snapchatter than rapper
Alright let’s get out of here
What is your main goal today as Sascha Stone my manager
What’s your main priority
The show is great
That all the press people that come to the show
Are impressed by the show
That you get some food so you stop crying
I want a burrito I’m hungry as fuck
I didn’t even eat all day today
What do you wanna eat?
I don’t know
As a artist you know we learn a different way
And I know there’s not a school where you go to management
And you learn these things or you learn how to be a manager
Like what made you feel that you could do that
You know being a concert promoter
I sat court side and I watched
So many great managers and agents
And I got to really be a part of the story
When you’re a promoter you’re really relegated
To being with them in that market
As a manager what would you say
Is one of your most challenging moments
That you’ve had
I think it’s just dealing with giving you
Everything that you need
And making sure that you’re cool like as a human being
But then also making sure that as a brand and a business
You’re pushing yourself
What kind of devices do you use?
I’ve got a work phone and a personal phone
Got two phones
Look at this baller over here
What would you say is your best device
Of using to keep you organized
To keep you on track
To let you be the best manager that you can be
Computer
So you’re scheduling your day on this computer
Back to back
Yeah
You don’t think that that’s too much technology?
It’s not like overwhelming to you?
Nah
It never gets overwhelming?
Of course some days are overwhelming
It’s just you can roll with the punches
You’re life is scheduled on a computer
You just don’t look at it
Luckily I have a guy and a manager like you
To call me on the phone and tell me what’s on the computer
Are we ready to party Brooklyn?
You ready?
What would you say is the defining moment
That showed you this is what I want to do
And this is who I want to do it with?
I think it was a couple of kids
Who had driven hours and hours from outside of town
Who had come to see you perform live
And at the time like it wasn’t really popping online
Like that anything
But they were fans
They connected with the music
And I think you know the show was so much better
And you incorporated all of the things I gave you to do
And then afterwards you really spent an hour with them
I think just the way that you treat people
That love your music
There’s just a level of appreciation that you can’t teach
And that comes from you
That’s just something that comes from your heart
In my opinion we did everything the right way
We didn’t rush
You’re in your position without a cosign from anybody else
I’m in my position without a cosign
Like we really just did it on our own
I think that’s the story in itself
I swear this shit is so special to me
I hope all of my people and all of my family in Brooklyn
Feel the same way
