Danny Rakow is an Artist Development Specialist, Manager, and Platinum Songwriter. He manages Brakence and Peter McPoland, he’s written platinum and gold songs with Jeremy Zucker, and now has a joint venture record label with Republic Records.
What stands out to me most about him is his ability to find and develop talent so early, and his genuine passion for the craft. It’s rare to meet a manager with such a clear vision and personal connection to all of the fans and music industry alike. In this episode we reverse engineer exactly how he got to where he’s at now, to share some knowledge and help anyone else looking to have a similar career path.
