Our Journey Managing Tory Lanez


Listen Later

Welcome to the 3rd episode of Success Aches where we cover our “Journey Managing Tory Lanez”. We wanted to discuss our personal and shared experiences during our time with Tory. Payne spent 10 years working for Tory and Troy spent 5. We were each responsible for a variety of roles in his career that helped teach us about the music business and what working with an artist is about. As that professional chapter has recently come to an end, we took this opportunity to look back on some memorable moments & lessons we’ve learned from it that we’ll carry into our next adventures.
