Creative independence brings tremendous possibility. I want MYSHOWBIZ to help artists own their data, take control of their careers, and build on that freedom with the support they need to sustain it.
FROM EXPERIENCE TO PURPOSE
Elijah Rock knows what it takes to step onto a stage. A vocalist, actor, tap dancer, and recording artist, he trained at the Cleveland Institute of Music and built a career spanning jazz, the Great American Songbook, and theatre. His portrayal of Roland Hayes in Breath and Imagination earned an NAACP Theatre Award. The discipline of the craft was familiar. The business behind it had to be learned along the way.
While booking his own tour, Elijah was finding venues, chasing replies, negotiating fees, coordinating dates, and calculating travel costs. Conversations lived in inboxes. Contacts lived in his phone. Agreements lived in folders. Every opportunity brought more details to hold together, before he ever stepped onstage. He wanted more time to create, more confidence in his decisions, and more room to be present with his family.
Elijah built MYSHOWBIZ to bring the business of an artist’s career into one connected workspace, with Coach alongside to help make sense of the details. The idea starts with a simple belief: artists should understand their own business and have a real say in its direction. Independence can include agents, managers, and collaborators. The artist stays at the centre, choosing what to share and who to work with.
