How do people get picked to work at Paisley Park? Like how did Mani get picked? Where did they meet? And do you actually need experience to work for his company? Just wondering about that one.  Four strings across the bridge. Ready to carry me over,Over the quavers, drunk in the bars,Out of the realm of the orchestra  | |

I've wondered that myself, and what does it take to be a Paisley Park NPGMC mod. Sometimes, I get a very impolite, short, rude, noninformative, frustrated, irritated, attitudish, snobby kinda feel from them. Almost like you're bothering them if you have a question or inquiry. You get the feeling that they're sitting in front of the monitor doing this , whenever they're making a comment. Just because you have it 'in' with Prince, doesn't make you better than any of us other fan/fams whatchumacallit.Blue  | |

I knew someone who knew someone and when they
were looking for someone in the field, they called me. That was on a Thursday. Saturday I was on a plane to Minneapols -- actually, it was exactly 3 years ago today! http://elmadartista.tumblr.com/ http://twitter.com/madartista | |

u stalk prince, then connive your way into marrying him and taking credit for turning his life around. U become a vegetarian, weight no more than 96 pounds and look very innocent in the face when u know what is really going down behind closed doors..... I will forever love and miss you...my sweet Prince. | |

But, hardly. Actually I like having security and decent pay in my employment, so working for Prince or at Paisley Park isn't something I'd even consider. If you take away the "brag value" aspect, the reality is those jobs aren't anything to get excited over. And I do know folks who worked for Prince during different periods over these last years. What I said in my earlier post applies to every single one of them. | |

At the risk of losing my NPGMC membership, I wanna tell some of them to "kiss my black ass!" Sometime they get pissed at you, if you ask anything, stuff you have every right to ask. As far as I'm concerned, they're only job of importance is to wash Prince's socks and draws. I forgot something edit... [This message was edited Wed May 12 20:51:32 2004 by TheBluePrince] Blue | |

I think most people that work in the studio have a lot of experience, or were considered a hotshot in one way or another, and are not necessarily prince fans at all. My art book: http://www.lulu.com/spotl...ecomicskid

I had a friend who worked for prince and was offered jobs for the likes of Janet Jackson and others. I think you just need talent. Prince isn't going to keep someone around who isn't going to better his businesses.
As far as getting picked to work there, I think you just need to know someone there possibly? brickhouse boys: http://www.myspace.com/brickhouseboys
