Matthew Burnett and Jordan Evans, the powerhouse producers behind Daniel Caesar's success, took on all the management duties for the rising star. Despite their extensive involvement, they hesitated to embrace the title of managers.

Their journey illustrates the nuanced dynamics of navigating the music industry while staying true to their creative roots.Throughout their tenure with Daniel Caesar, Burnett and Evans skillfully balanced the challenges of independence and leveraged grant funding to propel his career forward. They deftly handled major record label bidding wars and guided the team through the intense streaming wars between Apple Music and Spotify.

Burnett and Evans' story underscores the complexities of artist management in the modern music landscape, where creativity and business acumen must harmonize.Listen to the full episode here -
