We’re looking forward to introducing you to Judy Malka. Check out our conversation below.

Judy, so good to connect and we’re excited to share your story and insights with our audience. There’s a ton to learn from your story, but let’s start with a warm up before we get into the heart of the interview. What do you think is misunderstood about your business? 
By serving the Artist community for several decades of my life, I have learned that many who are joining the circle don’t do their diligent work to truly understand the principles that work best for the entertainment world. Many, who come in into the business walk in for the process of glamour fame money but learn fast that it’s a failure.
The misunderstood is that Some artists fail to recognize that we are a product. Yes, we are a product and how we present Our product is the key to a successful and powerful journey..JM

Can you briefly introduce yourself and share what makes you or your brand unique?
