Hi


I'm trying to reach the management of Prince for a serious proposal .
Since this is the community of Prince his most loyal fans I thought maybe I could ask for help on this board ?



Take Care

Prince doesn't have a manager

what kind of proposal is it ?

^^^ Unique can act on his behalf though...

I'm producing a major documentary about the music industry .
I can't tell the content of it but there is a subject about the record labels and I want Prince for an interview . I know he don't do interviews a lot but I think he might be interested in this .

Is there no management for Prince ? That's almost impossible because how can you book Prince for a concert ? Who's fixing everything ? There should be someone who's responsible for all of this . I don't see Prince calling venues to ask if he can perform ..

I think your best bet would be to contact the Paisley Park recording studio

thanks !

Perhaps if you're going to propose yourself as a filmmaker/journalist/interviewer, you should get a better grip on the difference between "he doesn't", and "he don't". He's less likely to laugh at you that way.

Cliche and expected.

I'd contact Dr. Funkenberry an Associates.

Apart from the rare private party for major cash, you don't book him ... he books you.


He'll gets someone close to dial the number for him.

In Paris this week, he attended the venue he's playing today, he liked the look of it, he got it organised.


If Prince wants to appear in a documentary, he books someone to make the documentary he wants, and then it might not be released. (Ask Kevin Smith).

I think I heard the William Morris Agency represents him, but I'm not sure on that.

You can always try calling L. Londell McMillian.

thedancers said:

Haha, fat guy got owned (now he probably runs to the moderator because of the f-word). Good luck with your documentary thedancers, and do I hope you'll get that interview.

No one got owned. You think an accent mark over a letter is OWNING someone? Get a life.

And whether I'm fat or not....you'll always be a prick. You lose.

ernestsewell said:

Good, you win ... The biggest prick contest.

xlr8r said:

I was gonna say that. don't forget Shelbey.

I heard that too.

it's not impossible. prince hasn't had a manager for many years, he doesn't want a manager either. he is in the fortunate position to pull off deals without a manager taking a cut. of recent years AEG have done deals directly with him for the larger gigs like the o2 and LA earlier this year, but he uses another agent for smaller gigs such as his private gigs

prince usually does what he wants to do and gets it arranged himself. he must get many offers all the time, such as to play glastonbury or coachella where he can get 2 to 4 million a gig. in the last few years of the few interviews has has done, such as tavis smiley, he expressed an interest in appearing and made the arrangements himself. i doubt very much he would be interested in doing an interview with an unknown. usually if you prove yourself and prince is interested, he will contact you. the only documentaries that prince has participated in have been his own, and only one of them was ever released/shown (two different edited versions, plus a third shortened version were shown) and the bbc omnibus special was based on footage from these but had no direct input such as an interview from prince. his last documentaries have never seen the light of day and may not have been completed, so you probably have a better chance of getting michael jackson in your interview than prince

btw prince hasn't used londell for years (he is busy with the jackson family at the moment), and dr funkenberry isn't exactly an associate of prince, he's a fan who has a celebrity based internet blog. prince will either contact you, or the people who need to contact him known how to get in touch

There's no harm in trying!

Sorry I don't mean to stereotype but if you are young, female and smokin' hot that will help

oh wow um good luck?

That's so nice. The great folk hang out together.

I miss Steve Fargnoli (r.i.p.).

true, but it is pretty clear when an endeavor such as this would be a waste of one's time...

kenlacam said:

Why would an endeavor such as this be a waste of time ?
Maybe it's time for change ? And if there is one endeavor that knows something about change it's this one

thedancers said:

Tell that to Prince and his people LOL. I'm just saying. One can certainly "try" to get somewhere, but they'd have just as much luck trying to give him a demo. Just being realistic, is all. I agree with you -it is time for a change, but that apparently doesn't apply in the purple world.
