In this episode of The Manager’s Playbook, host Mauricio Ruiz sits down with acclaimed record producers and songwriters Matthew Burnett and Jordan Evans. Known for their exceptional work in the music industry, Matthew and Jordan have seamlessly transitioned into the realm of artist management, co-founding Golden Child Recordings and guiding Daniel Caesar to international stardom as an independent artist.


Mauricio, Matthew, and Jordan delve into their journey from growing up in Ajax, influenced by legendary producers like Boi-1da and T-Minus, to landing major placements with top-tier artists such as Drake and Eminem. They share the serendipitous story of meeting Daniel Caesar, their strategies for managing his career, and the advantages of operating independently in the music industry.


Mauricio also shares the story of his first encounter with Matthew and Jordan during his time managing Jessie Reyez with Byron Wilson. Both their teams were involved in intense bidding wars and discovered they had the same approach and mindset to artist management, providing them with unique insights into the high-stakes nature of the music industry.


This episode offers an in-depth look at the nuances of record production, the intricacies of artist management, and the contrast between major labels and independent routes. It’s a masterclass in music industry dynamics and the art of nurturing talent.


A conversation like this doesn’t come cheap.
