Entertainment Power
Players:
The Premier Television, Motion Picture & Music Business Directory
Compiled and edited
by Dackeyia Q. Sterling
Award-nominated musician Jeff McMahon is one of the featured artists
interviewed for a new book on the entertainment business entitled Entertainment
Power Players: The Premier Television, Motion Picture & Music Business
Directory.
The book is an exciting new publication designed to provide insight on
all aspects of the entertainment industry. Lavishly illustrated and published
in hardcover, this all-in-one resource directory aspires to educate and
inform both amateurs and professionals interested in the film, television,
and music industries.
McMahon met with Dackeyia Q. Sterling, CEO and publisher of Entertainment
Power Players, at a recent concert in Baltimore, Maryland:
We had spoken at length over the phone, but it was
great to have the opportunity to sit down with Dackeyia in person.
She had just received the first copies of the book, and they were
very impressive. It is such a great tool for anyone interested in
filmmaking, the music business, radio, television. I wish I had
found something like this as a student. I had no idea about how
the industry works…where records come from, how films are
really made. I think the book really provides some perspective on
the different sides of the business: what happens onstage and off,
in front of the camera and behind it, creatively and professionally.
I appreciate that I was asked to make a contribution
to the project, and I think all of her hard work has really paid
off.

This comprehensive resource tool contains information on more than five
thousand professional contacts in all aspects of the entertainment world.
Listings for production companies, film festivals, music publishing, computer
animation, and recording studios are only some of what is found in this
helpful guide. Personal interviews with talent from a variety of fields
offer personal perspectives on what it takes to succeed in the creative
arts.
McMahon offers his thoughts on sharing the stage with country superstar
Tim McGraw. Hit film producer Robert Teitel talks about how his career
changed after the successful Barbershop films. Songwriter Diane
Warren shares what it’s like to write hits for stars like Christina
Aguilera, Elton John, and Celine Dion.
“I was surprised when they asked me for an interview,” said
McMahon. “But shoot, if I know something that is useful or encouraging
to somebody struggling to find their way around the music world, I’m
glad to do it.
