carter gregory vs CARTERA - ep. 14

Today we’re joined by one of our best friends - music executive, interviewer, A&R, and honestly one of the busiest people we know, Carter Gregory. Carter talks about growing up in North Carolina, falling in love with music, and the journey that took him from dreaming about LA to dominating the music industry. We also get into his early assistant days, discovering artists and what it actually takes to make it in music. Plus, a few stories Carter probably wishes we wouldn’t mention.

And considering we barely scratched the surface… there may need to be a part two.
