Lippman Entertainment

You can go back in time and see any concert. Whom would you see and when?

Elvis Presley, when he was at the height of his career.

What’s the single biggest change in a manager’s responsibilities since you started in the biz?

A manager needs to be involved in the artist's personal life.

Name a manager not in your company whom you admire.

Irving Azoff. I am impressed with his ability to be involved with so many business ventures.

Name a mistake you’ve made in the biz and what you learned from it.

Managing an artist that you don't believe in. I learned that to be a successful manager, you have to focus on an artist whose talent you love.
