Build A Great Team & Let Your Passion Lead You
The most important thing is to make sure you let your passion lead you because that will give you the drive to continuously pursue executing your business goal because money and materialism isn’t going to sustain that drive. It’s important to have that passion always at the back of your mind and to surround yourself with good quality people and people who are in it to work together and work as hard as you do, to achieve those goals. Surround yourself with people who also instill that passion for whatever it is that you enjoy and believe in as well. It’s better to live a life and grow slowly, but pursue it in a field that you love and work hard at that. What I’ve seen over time in my career is that those who pursue that, for some it’s faster than others, but as long as you continue to grow and surround yourself with people you respect and care about it will ultimately be a more enjoyable ride.

Greatest Moments in Cashmere Agency History:
We worked very closely with Snoop on the Father Hood project, he’s top dog out on the west coast, then we worked with Murs, who is the top dog in the independent world of hip-hop on the West Coast. We work closely with producers like Terrance Martin and Wild Animals who are changing the scene sonically out here on the west coast. As a small and up and coming business it’s always great to give back to your local community and to be able to achieve the success we have and making sure we’re partnering with local artists and talent in order to achieve that. Also, like with groups like Pacific Division, a lot of artists we’re connected to and do business with have been a community effort. We’ve realized the more successful our local community and scene is on the West Coast, the more opportunities for our company. You put yourself in a power position when you give back and have the community provide the outcome of that back to you. It’s a very cyclical process. That’s another thing we’ve been successful at. We stay west coast for a purpose.
