The Manager’s Playbook 033: Chris Taylor – Last Gang Records, Drake, Nelly Furtado, Artist Management, Independent Labels, Music Law, Career Longevity & Betting on Talent

1 tim 57 min•5 augusti 2025

Chris Taylor has done it all: music lawyer, label founder, global executive, and now CEO of Hall of Fame Management. But his story didn’t start with a major deal. It started with a $35K personal bet on a band called Metric and a refusal to let talent get buried by industry politics.

In this episode, Chris joins Mauricio Ruiz to talk about the hard-earned lessons behind his journey, what it really means to build infrastructure, why some artists succeed without being the most strategic, and how the role of the manager has evolved into something bigger than ever before.

They unpack the grind behind artist development, the emotional weight of betting on people, and what long-term thinking looks like in an industry obsessed with quick wins.

This is a masterclass in leadership, belief, and adapting to the business as it moves under your feet.

Simply put, a conversation like this doesn't come cheap.
