Eddie Neam is a full-time entrepreneur in the music industry. Neam has worked as an executive music producer, DJ, and expert tour manager for artists and producers. As the music industry changes, Neam hopes to provide a variety of services to clients looking to gain success in what can be an industry that’s difficult to get into.

For Eddie Neam, getting into the music industry started with being a professional DJ on the iHeart Radio airwaves. This led to Neam interning with major record labels and getting into producing behind the scenes with major and independent artists. “It took me 7 years to build my brand,” Neam says. “I started with nothing and what got me to where I’m at now was a handshake and a smile.” 

That handshake and a smile led to several long-lasting connections that have helped Neam  continue to improve his standing in the industry to this day. “A music Executive from Def Jam Recordings once told me that teamwork makes the dream work,” Neam says. “ I couldn’t agree more with him. I love my network of friends and I wouldn’t be here without them.”

Today, Neam offers services such as marketing campaigns for independent artists and producers. “I want to help them push their music projects out professionally while they’re on an independent level,” he says. Neam also does tour management for artists and producers that need help building their brand from scratch.

Eddie Neam has successfully obtained gold and multi-platinum certification for his marketing and promotions of major records. Among these hit records are “Everyday We Lit” by YFN Lucci featuring PnB Rock, which was certified gold after peaking at #12 on the Billboard hip-hop charts and “Taste” by Tyga featuring Offset, which peaked at number nine on the Billboard Hot 100 in August of 2018. This includes working with Def Jam Recordings to help push records for Kanye West. Neam has also successfully pushed independent records into mediabase charts. 

Neam feels he’s found his passion in the music industry and he credits that passion as the reason for his current success and drive to achieve more. “Success to me is following your sole purpose in life,” he says. “Knowing who you are in this world and what you can do to create positive energy. When you feel that you are using all the tools that the universe provides and you are using it for the greater cause to bring peace to this world, then I think you’re successful.” 

The music industry has a lot of moving parts and Eddie Neam prides himself in being able to help artists and producers navigate the complexities of the business. It’s not just getting in a booth and recording a song that gets you a hit, even in an age where creation is easier than ever before. You can get a song trending on TikTok or use it in a popular tweet, but it’s people like Eddie Neam who will help get it on the Billboard charts and playing over radio airwaves, which still control a lot of the charting landscape of the modern music era. 

As an established management professional and creative visionary with 10+ years of experience navigating the complexities of the music industry, Eddie Neam doesn’t see his career in the record business slowing down anytime soon.  With his work in hands-on project management, client engagement, industry networking, and high-quality production, Neam can do a lot for his clients that others cannot provide just by themselves. He is eager to help new artists make their dreams come true and build his own resume as a reliable and trusted power in the business.
