Roc Nation's Mike Brinkley

What was the first concert you ever attended?

My first real concert was Bobby Brown with Shabba Ranks at MSG, 1993.

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

Any of the early Motown tours with Smokey, The Temptations, The Supremes, etc.

Name a manager not in your company whom you admire.

Chris Lighty was a mentor to me early on. He always made his presence felt without being in the forefront.
