If you already have a look, style, reputation, and music…what the hell do you need an A&R rep for?

Money?

Stupid question, but i'm not a native english speaker : what's an "A&R rep" ?

Money?

^this.
Those companies have the pockets to send you across the state, country, world. More importantly the connections to market you to a lot of different ears.

And unless you get in with a good studio, you'll wind up owing them money.
And if you already have a reputation, what's the point, again? I thought the point was getting the reputation.

Seriously…this was supposed to be a little joke about the industry not a real discussion. Sorry…I'll go back to drinking.
