Promoter

The Resume

Why he might be annoying:

    He inflicted Justin Bieber on the world.
    He earned money in college selling fake IDs.
    He dropped out of college to become director of marketing for Jermaine Dupri's SoSoDef label.
    Three years later, he was fired by Dupri's mother for insubordination.
    He was almost a judge for American Idol's 13th season, but Fox rejected his insistence that he would manage the winner.
    He got into a public spat with Taylor Swift after his company bought her old label, acquiring the rights to her first six albums (2019).

Why he might not be annoying:

    While in high school, he made a short film, 'The Hungarian Conflict,' that his grandmother sent to Stephen Spielberg, who in turn submitted it to the National Holocaust Museum.
    He was elected class president of Greenwich High School.
    While he was a party promoter in Atlanta, he was offered chances to star in reality TV, but 'I didn't want to be known for that, so I turned it all down.'
    He noted that he first used YouTube to promote acts, 'People thought I was crazy.'
    He hosts a weekly BBQ for the SB Projects staff: 'They've worked their asses off all week. Let them have a good time.'
    Billboard called him the music biz's 'first responder' when he organized and produced the One Love Manchester benefit concert and the Hand In Hand: A Benefit for Hurricane Relief telethon within months of each other (2017).
    His companies and clients have granted more wishes through the Make-A-Wish Foundation than any other organization.
