Meet AJ Causey | Tour & Artist Manager

We had the good fortune of connecting with AJ Causey and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi AJ, we’d love to hear about how you approach risk and risk-taking.
When considering risk, it is essential to weigh the potential rewards against the potential losses. I always take into account the long-term implications of my decisions and consider strategies for recovering from any setbacks. While life often requires taking risks, it is crucial to approach them with a calculated mindset, particularly when striving towards our goals and dreams. It’s important to recognize that the path to success is rarely straightforward. Therefore, it’s necessary to cultivate resilience and adaptability to navigate challenges effectively.

What distinguishes me is my visionary mindset, which blends childlike imagination with a keen awareness of both the known and the unknown. I embrace ideas wholeheartedly, committing to their execution to explore their fullest potential. While others may flip from one concept to another without progress, I prioritize following through, ensuring that tasks are completed with dedication and proficiency.

My journey to this point has been marked by pivotal decisions and a readiness to adapt to evolving circumstances. I understand that personal and professional growth are intertwined, leading to shifts in desires and ambitions. Despite the challenges along the way, I have upheld a reputation for reliability and excellence by consistently delivering my deliverables, whether for myself or others.

The concept of “Great Human Beings” is not singular but plural, encompassing a collective of individuals, each driven by their own unique dreams and aspirations. Together, we strive to fulfill our potential and make meaningful contributions to the world around us.

Who else deserves some credit and recognition?
As I reflect on my journey through life, I can’t help but see it as a symphony, with each chapter orchestrated by the melodies gifted to me by my loved ones. From the soulful serenades of Sade, a precious gift from my grandmother, teaching me that Love is Stronger Than Pride, to the resilient anthems of Mary J Blige, imparted by my mother, who has weathered storms without shedding a tear in defeat, I’ve been nurtured by the rhythms of life’s lessons.

Then there’s Nas, the lyrical prophet bestowed upon me by my father, who instilled in me the belief that greatness courses through my veins, written in my DNA long before my earthly debut. And amidst this melodic tapestry, I stumbled upon Usher, whose heartfelt confessions resonated deeply, inspiring me to pen my own truths into the lyrics that would lay upon my pad.

But as the playlist of my life unfolded, I realized I didn’t want to confine myself to one genre or sound. I yearned to be a conductor of creativity, bringing together diverse talents under one harmonious roof. Thus, the concept of Great Human Beings (GHB) was born—a sanctuary where artists could flourish and evolve.

Completing my industry certification at 1500 Sound Academy and embarking on my maiden voyage with Truu Colors Entertainment as a Tour Manager’s Assistant only solidified my conviction. This, I realized, is the crescendo towards which all my notes have been leading—a pivotal path towards owning and orchestrating my own record label, where every beat echoes the rhythm of my dreams.
