MAESTRO ROLE MODEL: Rick Rubin
Sep 1st, 2007 by Vikram Rajan
Second to Russell Simmons, Rick Rubin is my role model. I believe we can learn a lot about our own careers, pitfalls, and successes through our role models. Rick Rubin is featured on the cover of this week’s NY Times magazine. He has produced the best albums and hits in the mainstream music industry. Rick Rubin truly is a MAESTRO!
As you know, the music industry is in shambles. In May, Columbia Records recruited the legendary Rick Rubin to re-innovate them; Rick Rubin became Chairman of Columbia Records. Rick Rubin is a maestro with a personal brand all his own. Read the cover story! You will learn a lot on how to stand out and reshape - not only your career - but your whole profession.
Some [useful marketing] quotes by Rick Rubin from this week’s NY Times Magazine cover story:
- “I still believe that if an artist gains the belief of the listener, then anything is possible.”
- “I have no training, no technical skill — it’s only this ability to listen and try to coach the artist to be the best they can from the perspective of a fan.”
