First Blog!!

Hey everyone!! My name is Stephanie aka The Lioness and I am the owner of The Lioness Den Management Company. I guess my purpose for this blog is to not only give you a peak inside my world managing an artist but to give little tidbits on my journey through the music business.


First off let me tell you about my background. I started out trying to manage back in the '90's with a local female rap artist and then when our producer decided to be on the mic I was forced to learn production. I actually find engineering and production to be a great start for me because it gave me insight in what to expect from our recordings. I also have gained a greater appreciation for all the people behind the scenes that help bring wonderful music into the world.


I then moved into various forms of beatmaking and producing, even trying my hand at writing, both of which were fun but my heart stayed in the engineering role. 


I was then offered the opportunity to do FOH mixing in a very large church with a large membership. That is still near and dear to me and if they needed I would always be available. Through that experience I met some of the most wonderful people in the engineering world. Jonathan Steinhauser, Donnie Tucker, Doug Annibale and Jay Dudt. Just them giving me insight on mixing and sound technique has again proved invaluable in my career.


I also met my current artist and one of my closest and dearest friends, Casaundra. She actually came to the church studio with a young man to do some back up work and ended up being a great addition to my world. We have since formed a strong and awesome friendship and relationship. 


I have been blessed beyond what I could have ever imagined by being in this business and having a great support team of experienced individuals around me to help along the way.


Coming here very shortly Casaundra will be releasing her first official EP titked What Kind of Love and given the journey so far, I expect nothing but phenomenal success!!!
