Me meeting Clive Davis outside after the event
The soundtrack of my life is the not another song rather than a book that was written by one and only Clive Davis.
Clive Davis is among the legendary in the music business in the world plays key roles in many of the now biggest name in the music industry such as, Barry Manilow, Santana, Alicia Keys, Aretha Franklin, and our beloved RIP Whitney Houston just to name few artists that Clive have mentor throughout the years and continue to seek new raw talents in the music business.
Clive Davis first mentions about his where he was born and raised from Brooklyn, New York and after his schooling from he decided to be a lawyer, but that did not end up so well. He went to another route and going into music business, had started his own record company called Arista record, within that company he has signed on to now the biggest artist name such as Barry Manilow and Whitney Houston, and created the most successful artists in the music industries for a while, after years Clive was at it again creating another record label called J Records in the year of 2000 and now as of today he serves as Chief creative officers for Sony Music.
He talks about the music industries a little in his talk sessions and every 3-4 years in music industries they needed to created another new label, artists, because he also mentions what is 3-4 years ago music is not going to be the same as 3-4 years later trends, music business and music trends are always changing and to be successful is to go with the flow and goes with the trendiest and current music scenes.
Clive talked a little about Whitney Houston before her death, how she was as an artist and in her person life before she became an artist. Clive also urges Whitney to stop smoking to make another record, which she did stop smoking for period of time for making a records. He also talked about hours before the Grammy in 2011 how he found out she passed away and was deeply sadden by it and was still in shocked about the news, so as the man he is and made the Grammy after party about remembered and horned of Great Whitney Houston and many of the artists and clients in the music industries stayed and pay respect to her after the Grammy celebrations. Clive quoted himself “ it’s about celebration of Life of Whitney not about her going so why not make this the best celebration of in memory of Whitney and celebrate what she has contributed to the world of great music and sounds for all of us to enjoy for many years to come.”
92Y had a hosted a special evening having the talk with Clive Davis many of his fans made it out in despite the cold snowy whether to see Clive Davis event talk, even with all the mishaps of the sounds trouble in the begging of the show, over all the show went very smoothly at one point Clive Davis played some of the oldies music from Tina Tuner, Santana, Alicia keys music demos before they became famous, everyone in the audience seems to enjoys it and bubbles their head from side to side, and had a great time at the talk with Clive Davis. It is definable an unforgettable evening and well time spends with the legends himself.
