Josh: Nick and I met in Boston. I was working asrepparttar 120589 Publicist atrepparttar 120590 Mama Kin Music Hall co-owned by Aerosmith. Nick and I care very much about music and musicians. Both Nick and I have always wanted to work in music. Specifically, we want to work on our own terms. Individually we have worked with people who care more about money then actually helping artists. We have seen hard working musician’s be deceived by manipulators posing as true professionals. Our goal is to own and run a company that is a true resource for independent musicians. We both bring very specific talents to our company. Vision Music USA is Nick and Josh. A major prerequisite to gaining employment with Vision is to share not only our beliefs but our work ethic.

Two, we have always wanted to providerepparttar 120596 resources independent bands need to take their career’s torepparttar 120597 next level. This is what is so exciting. This is what makes going to work a pleasure. It’s knowing that you are making an immediate impact in someone’s career.

Once we start with an artist we take their vision torepparttar 120601 next level. Vision Music USA has been in business for about two years. “No bullshit firm” is Nick’s idea. It is very true.
