Today we’d like to introduce you to Sylvester (Supasly75) Hill.
Hi Sylvester (Supasly75), please kick things off for us with an introduction to yourself and your story.
In 2000, I moved to California after signing a music production deal which then lead to stints as an A&R for Priority, Capitol and Universal Records. In 2007 I moved to Atlanta to work with the likes of Jarvis Blackshear (Outkast engineer). In 2018 after a brief hiatus away from music I began working songwriter Lazonate Franklin who penned Telephone for Beyonce and Lady Gaga.
While overseeing that project I was offered the position of Director of A&R for 26 Records under Sony/Orchard in 2019 and have now been immersed in the world of brand consulting alongside FacesByPureness. While simultaneously dividing time between LA and Atlanta I’ve been fervently working on 2 film documentaries.
Can you talk to us a bit about the challenges and lessons you’ve learned along the way. Looking back would you say it’s been easy or smooth in retrospect?
By no means has it been a smooth road. There are stages in struggles, the first is to actually being given a chance to be “let in” sort of speak, the second struggle is not only maintaining but constantly improving your craft to not only keep success flowing but to keep up or beat back constant competition. The third struggle for me personally was knowing when to step away to enjoy raising a family and running a household to then come back to the business to see if I “still had it”.
Thanks – so what else should our readers know about your work and what you’re currently focused on?
My first love has always been music, starting from production to A&R to artist management too corporate I’ve seen all facets of the business to help determine what’s good for the artist and what labels are looking for when investing in an artist and all of the intricate processes the public isn’t privy too. If anything I’ve always been known as pro artist and helping to bridge the gap between artistry and corporation. My proudest moments are seeing the excitement in artist’s eyes from the time they first hear their record on the radio to their first tour to watching them interact with their fans. What sets me apart honestly is my network and no nonsense approach to the business.
Can you talk to us a bit about happiness and what makes you happy?
Being a dad, watching my daughter grow up is what makes me the happiest. I know it’s cliche but I’m a simple guy when it comes down to it. It’s through her I’ve learned to appreciate the simple things!
