What is the most challenging thing you have overcome in your life?
The most challenging thing we have had to overcome as a label is being turned down from different opportunities at times ranging from business partnerships to artists deals and having enough heart to keep pushing forward until you find the right partner in business that can see what you are trying to do and help you achieve that vision.
What do you want people to take away after listening to the label’s music?
As a label we have a variety of different artist and all of them have different stories in their music as well as a different style and vibe. As long as some of the fans can relate to some of the artists on the roster and enjoy the different sounds then that makes us and the artists happy.
Any new music from the label coming out soon?
We have tons of new music coming out from some of the artists that has been with us for a while along with some new talent. After charting on Itunes with "Indie In A Major Way" Vol 1 be on the lookout for Vol 2 coming soon.
What is your label’s greatest achievement?
We have had a lot of great achievements over the years but to date it would have to be charting at #23 on iTunes.

Real Life, Lifestyle, Inspirational
Which qualities do you think make a great label?
What qualities make us a great label is first and foremost "Good Business" we pride ourselves on that with anything we do. We our a very organized strategic type of company and push our artists to be the best they can be while educating them with knowledge in the music business just to name a few.
What’s the best piece of advice another label ever gave you?
The best piece of advice another label has given me was always support your artists and don't make them feel like they work for you. Make them feel like it's a true partnership to where they have a voice as well.
Anyone you’d like to thank?
First, I would like to thank God because without him there would be no G-Man Entertainment Music Group. I would also like to thank the whole G-Man Entertainment Music Group family from Staff to Artists and all of the fans who have supported the G-Man brand for many years and those that still continue to support us.
