In this week’s episode, I sit down with the amazing Steve Einzig, an A-list booking agent and the CEO of bookingentertainement.com. 

bookingentertainement.com specializes in booking big name A-list musicians and entertainers such as John Legend, Ed Sheeran, Stevie Nicks, Seal, and Maroon 5 for private and corporate events, catering to ultra-high-net-worth individuals. 

Not only does the company book music from every genre, but also standup comedians and celebrity chefs as well.

In this episode, Steve and I discussed how his passion for the blues led to a breakthrough label job, the most demanding clients to work for, how the number of hits determines how much an artist gets paid, the most popular music genre for private and corporate gigs, and so much more.
