Cue & A - Episode 7 - Agents

Okay, agents, do you need them?

uh so but the thing i feel like every young composer feels like they're like i've got to have an agent and they just feel like there's so much wrapped up and getting an agent and like i'm not going to make it until i've got an agent i need someone to do this and do that and then you've got other composers telling them like yeah man you got to get an agent and then uh but it's I actually had an agent when I first started before I even got my first gig really but I've only had two agents and he Well, it was it was Bob Rice and you know with him too for a while.

Yeah,

so For a while, Bob Rice was the only agent around that was doing video games.

And nobody wanted to touch him.

And so he was like he had all the guys, but he cast a very wide net.

I mean, I met people at a friend's house or at some gathering, like a dinner thing, and then at a party.

And then you're like, oh, what do you do? I'm a composer.

Oh, what do you do? I'm a composer.

And somehow it would come up, like, do you have an agent? Because I

was always

like, do you have an

agent? I've got an agent.

Right.

I met so many people I'd never heard of in my life.

And they're like, oh, yeah, I'm represented.

Four Bars Entertainment.

I'm like, Bob? They're like, yeah.

I'm like, well, I'm with Bob, but I never heard of you.

Yeah, exactly.

Yeah, he had a huge clientele of game composers.

And I

thought that when he signed me on...

You were his first and

only guy?
