Strategy for choose mentors for session?

[cece]

Chris "Hot Rod" Long could be a good match, however, I agree with you there are not many mentors that have experience with rap/hip-hop genres. I would say that the best approach would be to talk with artist development experts that have experience in promotions and music marketing. Jon Flanagan, Peggy Glen, Dan Kimpel, Suzan Koc, Jan Linder Koda could all fit under that category - there are others as well. Although there will be specifics in marketing your genre I think that you may find universal concepts that are crucial in all genres. Best wishes! -Chelsea
