HUSH
HOW TO START A LABEL
Synopsis:
HUSH How to Start a Label
Kink calls Nick and says that he is back in Atlanta and wants to start a new label called HUSH. Kink is coming off of a few year hiatus in the industry and has ventured into the cannabis space. Kink explains that he’s ready to jump back into the music business and he has a small roster of burgeoning stars already on deck. All he has to do is... EVERYTHING. This sizzle should encompass all of the early bumps and bruises that a new music start up faces even when you have money and relationships already in place.
