Billboard caught up with NeilDominique to speak on his decision to partner up with Interscope, advice he's received about running a label and what he's looking for in an artist
Neil Dominique is ready to conquer the next chapter of his life. Once the assistant of Puff Daddy, Dominique later evolved into an all-star manager, grooming the skillset of R&B star Bryson Tiller and songwriting savant Pardison Fontaine.
and Brooklyn singer Nia Sultana captivated listeners with her dulcet vocals, but outside the hip-hop and R&B spheres."Don't be surprised if you see me come with the next major pop star or the next country star," he confidently proclaims."I'm a lover of music. Anything that hits my soul is something that I want to be a part of.
When you look at a lot of the success that they have -- whether it's a Kendrick Lamar, J. Cole, or a Summer Walker, they all come from the joint ventures that Interscope chooses to do. I saw that Interscope built a whole company based off letting their JVs continue to do what they do, and they'll be that support system to really push it out there to the world. That's why I felt like Interscope was the best for me.
Doing exactly what we're doing now, what we have been doing, and just taking it up a level. When I signed to Interscope, it wasn't really scary. A lot of people were like,"You wanna go there? You got a rapper and a R&B singer. They have Kendrick and Summer there. It's going to be hard to break through." But no, not really. You just have to be confident in music.
Yeah, you know me. One of the things that I really pride myself on in the industry is starting off as an assistant for Puff [Daddy] and being able to just be in certain rooms and build relationships. Before I made the deal, I made a phone call over to everybody over there to just pick their brains. Surprisingly, I spoke to IB [Ibraham Hamad] from Dreamville, I spoke to Tunde [Balogun, from LVRN] and I believe I even spoke to Top [Anthony Tiffith at TDE] briefly.
