We're back with an all new episode featuring Pinky Gonzales...

Pinky started his career in the booking and management sector of the business, working for the William Morris Agency and Sheridan Square Entertainment, where he worked with legendary music industry executive Danny Goldberg and artist/producer Todd Rundgren.

Recognizing a need for new media services throughout the music industry, he founded Artist Media Group in 2001, where he quickly signed deals with future super-group Rascal Flatts, American Idol Kelly Clarkson, DreamWorks Records, Capitol Records, and Universal South. 

In 2005, Artist Media Group merged with echomusic, a similar company representing Alison Krause, Dierks Bentley, Brad Paisley, General Motors, and many other artists and well-known brands.

Pinky is now a Managing Partner at echomusic, overseeing business development and new media consultation.
