By the late ’90s, @DaveLighty moved to #JiveRecords to become the Sr. Director of A&R, where he held that position for over a decade. 🎧 • Today, Dave's the Owner of @ViolatorSouth, a record label, management and marketing company and a consultant at Odlight LLC, a brand strategies firm. 🎛 • Tune in as we discuss how Dave went from #military man to music exec 🎼 💿, how influential his brother, Chris, was to his career, business acumen 💼, and outlook on life in general, how he navigates the highly competitive music industry, women hip-hop pioneers who inspired the “ratchet girl movement”, his gift of recognizing amazing talent, exciting new projects, and how he has been able to bounce back from some of the most challenging of circumstances poised and ready to eat 2020 and beyond alive! 🙌🏾💥 • • • #britthappens #podcast #podernfamily #davelighty #davidlighty #chrislighty #sharptonsays #violatorsouth #violator #llcoolj #kanyewest #thecollegedropout #peteypablo #freekaleek #lilkim #foxxybrown #newyork #hiphop #defjam #jiverecords #aristarecords #resilience #circlehousestudios https://www.instagram.com/p/B-LWqDBJMFW/?igshid=b3xhr7lbyetw
