No Days off, with Teri Lynn/Tour Manager

Teri Lynn started her career at Loud Records, overseeing day-to-day operations for the budding careers of the Wu-Tang Clan, Mobb Deep, and more. By 1999, the transition to digital music was well under way, and Teri Lynn was working for Quincy Jones Music Publishing. Realizing that the label life was not where she wanted to be, Teri Lynn pivoted and struck out on the road. Since then, she has worked with Usher, The B-52s, Solange Knowles, Big Sean, Nicole Scherzinger, and many more. In our discussion with Teri, we talk about the transition from label to road, the nuts and bolts about the work a TM does, and the importance of mentoring the next generation.
