John Branca — The Impact of being an artist and representing them






 John Branca discusses how being a music artist himself has impact his representation of music artists

Harvard Law Student: How has your experience as a musician influenced your perspective as a lawyer in unexpected ways? Could you elaborate on that? Do you feel like your clients relate to you more being a musician? I was just curious.

John Branca: Yes, absolutely, 100%. The fact that I played clubs, played the band, wrote music, late nights… and other things on gave me a perspective on being an artist.

Now, I wasn’t a great artist, I wasn’t a great musician, but you know, it gave me a perspective. And the fact that I spent so much time listening to music, I think really helped me relate to clients.

Now, it’s not essential, I think a friend of mine was a mathematics major at Columbia, and then got his law degree and very, very, very successful lawyer in the music business. But I found it to be very, very helpful.

John Branca discussing his personal brand and the importance it has played in his career

  John Branca  discussing his personal brand and the importance it has played in his career. John Branca : I’m a big believer in branding, no matter what you do as an attorney or otherwise. So over the years, I tried to cultivate a certain brand or image. So that before an artist might come in the room to interview me, they already thought they knew what I was about or certainly what I stood for. And part of my brand, I ha v e sort of two main competitors one in Atlanta and one in New York. Who, my friend in New York, always felt if I represent the record company, I’m going to get the artist. I was the opposite. Like growing up in the 60s, getting kicked out of school. I always had a chip on my shoulder when it came to big organizations, and the government and I view the record company in that light. So my whole thing is I’m going to represent the artists, never going to represent the record company. Never going to have to wake up in the morning and decide whose side am I on t...

John Branca - UCLA Interview - "The Price of Michael Jackson's Success"

John Branca discusses some of the price Michael had to pay for his success. John Branca: Starting in the 80s, James Baldwin had the famous quote that "Michael Jackson would forever pay the price for being as successful as he was and buying the Beatles catalog”. The press started on Michael in the mid-80s, and it hasn't stopped. And you asked the question, why not do a counter documentary? It's impossible to prove a negative.
