Some people want the spotlight. Some people build the stage. Gordan Dillard ( @g_theonly1 ) started as an intern just trying to stay in the building, and today he’s one of the most trusted managers in music, side by side with Doja Cat through every era. Your role doesn’t have to be loud to be powerful. Show up, add value, and stay ready. ⭐️

From the mailroom to the man behind the label, Shawn Barrons ( @shawnbarron ) legendary ear for talent had to be highlighted! From early on knowing Drake was going to be a star to signing Ty Dolla $ign after hearing his tape or believing in Leon Thomas after listening to his project.. Shawns ear has never let him down.

A decade together Shawn & Ty’s loyalty is a key part of this success and something every artist and exec can learn from who is coming up.

From delivering mail to delivering hits & producing stars Shawn Barron & EZMNY records are a force to known! ⭐️
