Episode 19 - With guest Marianne Bennett: Founder & CEO of Element Music

The Anthony Vazquez Show

This special edition of the Anthony Vazquez Workshops show was recorded in Element Music's studio and features Marianne Bennett: Founder & CEO of Element, New York City's top live music production and entertainment company. Stealing the show and winning over any crowd, Element Music has shot to stardom since Marianne Bennett opened her Manhattan based company 10 years ago. One of the country’s only live-mixing producers, Element has embraced the unpredictable nature of performing and used it to their advantage. Element Music is a community of artists and professionals with a decade of experience providing live entertainment on an internationally recognized level.

Marianne opens up about her beginnings as a singer, and her journey towards becoming a producer and a director. She discusses how her love of classical music drives her and talks about the unique way in which she uses music to shape an event and cater each event to her clients' needs. Anthony and Marianne discuss the business side of the music/creative industry, specifically from the perspective of failure, and how nothing is truly a 'failure' if you learned/grew from it. Marianne also discusses how the creative side comes easily to her, and how the business mindset came later, as a mode to get the music across better.
