Meet Bruce Billingy

Alright – so today we’ve got the honor of introducing you to Bruce Billingy. We think you’ll enjoy our conversation, we’ve shared it below.

Bruce , so many exciting things to discuss, we can’t wait. Thanks for joining us and we appreciate you sharing your wisdom with our readers. So, maybe we can start by discussing optimism and where your optimism comes from?
My optimism stems from my faith and belief in the order of the universe, trusting that things will eventually fall into place if we remain steadfast on our life’s journey. Through facing various adversities, I’ve come to understand that even in the darkest moments, there exists a glimmer of light waiting to be embraced. By consciously seeking out the positives in life, I find clarity amidst the chaos and utilize this perspective to propel myself forward. While life can be unpredictable and unforgiving, it’s through this optimism that I’ve discovered the profound beauty of it, . “Strong mind, strong body” is more than just a mantra for me; it’s a daily reminder of resilience and perseverance.

Appreciate the insights and wisdom. Before we dig deeper and ask you about the skills that matter and more, maybe you can tell our readers about yourself?
As an A&R Manager at Genesis Studios in Nashville, TN, I specialize in guiding independent music artists through the challenges of brand building and audience development. Through innovative approaches and cutting-edge technology, we empower artists to succeed in an ever-evolving industry. Additionally, I producer music and I co-manage mainstream R&B/Hip-Hop artist Luh Kel, bridging the gap between emerging talent and established artists.

My multifaceted approach includes traditional A&R services, music production, and exploration of VR and web3 technologies. I’m very committed to pushing the boundaries of what’s possible in music and technology, creating new opportunities for urban artists to thrive. Looking ahead, I’m excited to continue shaping the future of the music industry and empowering artists to achieve their dreams.

There is so much advice out there about all the different skills and qualities folks need to develop in order to succeed in today’s highly competitive environment and often it can feel overwhelming. So, if we had to break it down to just the three that matter most, which three skills or qualities would you focus on?
Reflecting on my journey, three qualities that have significantly influenced my path are resilience, innovativeness, and attention to detail. My ability to navigate and overcome negative situations, finding the silver lining amidst challenges, has been crucial in propelling me forward both professionally and personally. Moreover, my penchant for seeking new information and taking unconventional routes within the music industry has allowed me to discover success in unexpected places, constantly pushing the boundaries of what’s possible. Additionally, my commitment to meticulous attention to detail has helped me position myself effectively, striving for excellence in every endeavor.

For those early in their journey, I recommend fostering resilience by embracing setbacks as opportunities for growth and maintaining a positive mindset. Cultivate innovativeness by staying curious and open to exploring unconventional ideas and approaches within your field. Finally, prioritize attention to detail by consistently striving for excellence and refining your skills to stand out in a competitive landscape. By honing these qualities, individuals can navigate their journeys with confidence and achieve success in their chosen paths.

Awesome, really appreciate you opening up with us today and before we close maybe you can share a book recommendation with us. Has there been a book that’s been impactful in your growth and development?
I actually have a few books that have helped me in my overall development. The Kybalion, Think and Grow Rich, The 48 Laws Of Power and Rick Ross’s “The Perfect Day To Boss Up. All have played equal value in my development as a better business man and personally becoming a better person and understanding the principles and laws that govern the universe. That might sound kind of out there but it has gave me a better understanding of myself as an individual and also learning effective ways to create positive change in my life.
