English term or phrase: A&R assistant
"Having explored the Bay Area with his wife Naomi, Ryan was drawn to the strong scene that it fostered; they moved in May 2000. Within months, he landed a job as A&R assistant to Chris Smith at Om. "The label's reach is far and wide," he notes. "It was good energy to be around creative people who enjoy what they do." Continuing with DJing and production, Ryan formulated his alter ego Kaskade and began honing his studio skills. "

Q: As an A&R Representative at TVT Records, what are your responsibilities? Could you give me an example of a day-in-the-life of you?

A: The responsibilities are incredibly varied from day to day, but in general I start the day answering emails. Then touch base with individuals involved in active projects such as: Artists, Producers, Tour Managers, and Managers. Solve whatever issues have come up or attempt to. Develop project recordings or touring budgets and outlines. Attempt to secure industry professionals for future projects. Meet with various people from other departments within TVT to discuss project strategies. Research unsigned talent online. Listen to demos, solicited and unsolicited. Leave the office and go to whatever show/concert is happening that night. Schmooze with other industry professionals. Sleep. Repeat. There are other out-of-the-office duties I attend to, but not everyday. Such as: traveling to see an unsigned act or getting into the recording studio to see the magic happen. This is the part of the job I enjoy the most. These are the times you really develop the relationship with the artists.
