This guy doesn't get enough credit for what he did for Prince when he started out. Thank you Owen for recognising Genius before anyone else

Would love to have a manager like that.. Music first

Prince Rogers Nelson ! A very special person indeed.

Thank you for pushing Prince, you changed my life.

Thank you Owen! I'm sure many people were enlightened by this video while listening to you speak about your experiences and the different aspects of the music Business.. very informative. Great interview!

Damn... it's really a shame this man is not the president of some major label. By the sound of it, I bet the music industry and the quality of the music released would be much better if he was.

Thanks for getting Prince started...the greatest artist since Charlie Parker and Monk.

This Owen Husney and Chris Moon are both really nice, laid back people.

"you can fool some of the people all of the time, and thats enuf 2 make a damm good living"

The best advice I have heard yet, a truly outstanding interview.My son is 16 plays all the instruments, sings & writes his own music and lyrics. And the girls, oh the girls love this kid. He's Elvis,Prince,and Justin Bieber rolled into 1. So when he makes it and he will (he never gives up) remember his name ZAKK (Giordano) MORGAN google it I promise you will agree.

Love you sir...I'll remember you.

Seriously enlightening. ..I will be using this knowledge

I'm glad I saw this interview. I learned a lot. I am of the firm belief AND I've often said what Mr. Husney said at 19:07---Prince might be "one of those Beethoven, Mozart guys---he is of that ilk". The prodigy, the passion, the devotion to his music and the many genres he spanned with his virtuosity. I have been saying the same for many years and people looked at me like I was off my rocker, saying, "really? Nah." And like Beethoven, Prince was deaf too---deaf---to the critics, to the labels, to the industry---and true to himself and the art. Passion can make us do good and not so good things---he did a lot of that. He sure did paint himself into a corner and good that he did. Imagine if he hadn't. Only true Prince fans know that who he was and what he did was other-worldy, beyond comprehension, and with closure that came full circle.

Thanks Owen.

prince is a genious .. clear and simple by hearing the truth in the end of this documentary...

This video is brilliant.

Thanks for uploading this video onto KZfaq

Great, real, and true

The music industry now is a blind crocodile with gold in its mouth. enough said.

thanks so much

I want him to be my manager

Great video.

Inspiring! Thanks for this :) DJP

That was a a fridge magnet at our house - Luck - when preparation meets opportunity.

REAL MUSIC FAST $MONEY Thank God for the internet and indi music business.

*I was studying videos on Chris Lighty and KZfaq's unreliable algorithm brought me here.*

An artist is basically a "nude soul." They undress their soul to the public to be praised or shunned and ridiculed and that is very scary to most. The manager must protect them and build them up when others don't "get" them.

Mr Owen if you could go back to the interview would you have played the guitar in background, 1969 ish stratocaster and talked throughout interview?

Funny thing, my friend Billy worked with Dick Dale when Dick was probably 123? I know because Billy was 75. Great things happened!

Morris daye claims that Prince and Owen used the demo from their band "grand central" to get a deal

Contract = Con Tract = deceive in the particular area of interests.

Income Stream good name for a album next best thing since swiss cheese

43:52 bingo!

What does washed-up mean in this context?

Looking for new artists to manage?

GOOGLE ME ANYTIME

I'm glad that Pepe Willie fired his ass and Prince got rid of him because he wasn't doing what a manager was supposed to do for Prince.

I don't even listen to pop radio anymore. It all sounds like the typical garbage you heard that flooded the radio last year. Nothing is ORIGINAL. Pop, country, rap NOTHING Is original. I discover unique music on line and down load for free the new original musical sounds on line. I refuse to waste my hard earned funds on factory made crappie you typically find at the music stores.

Hi. 🙂 Please, let us pray together. Dear God who art in heaven hallow be thy name thy kingdom come thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven give us this day our daily bread and forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us and lead us not into temptation but deliver us from evil for thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever in Jesus Christ's name we pray, amen.

No such thing as selling out. Commercials = money. Money keeps your career going. Unless the commercial is advertising something egregious that would really hurt your brand as an artist 👩‍🎨, which would vary case by case. But honestly, the exposure and income from commercials and film/TV has so much potential to be lucrative that you would have to be a complete moron to take the “absolutely no commercials” stance in 2020.

WAIT ! HE SOLD HIS MANAGER CONTRACT TO WHO , OTHERS , AND DID PRINCE AGREE TO THAT MOVE? I THINK WHEN IT ALL WENT DOWN HE WANTED A PCS. OF THAT ACTION. WHO'D HE SELL TO, WARNER BROS. DID PRINCE PUSH HIM OUT? THINKING WARNERS WAS BIG PLUG TO GET HIS MUSIC OUT. A LITTLE BIG JEW, MEETS A POWERHOUSE JEWISH TRIBE THE HOUSE OF ISRAEL. PRINCE CALLED THEM OUT ON THOSE HIDDEN HURTS. I SOME TIMES WONDER DID GOD SEND PRINCE THEIR WAY, TO OPEN THEIR EYES TO REMEMBER WHEN THEY WERE SLAVES IN EGYPT, AND HOW BAD IT HURT TO BE A SLAVE THANK GOD HE SENT MOSES IN THERE WITH THAT STICK IN HIS HAND, OR YOU MIGHT CALL IT A STAFT, OR GET THIS A CANE!!!! DID YOU GET IT?
