New Interview
1. Charlie Can you share a memorable story or experience where your choice of drink played a role in a significant business decision or moment?
Charlie P: Recently Rum n Coke has intrigued my taste buds. On a flight to Los Angeles to board a cruise to Ensenada, Mexico for a live performance I facilitated for my good friend and client Bubba Sparxxx, I started off with Captain Morgan and just kind of stuck with it my entire business trip. Something I never do, usually I’m straight up tequila agave Casamigos Reposado. This was out of the norm for me. Ended up putting me in the vibe of a relaxed, enhanced mood of focus. Pulled out my phone and wrote some bars to a few concepts for my upcoming project “Life’s A Gamble”. Dug into my emails and started working on a 6 figure catalog deal that we closed by the time the 4 day cruise was over with.
2. Building Successful Partnerships:
Charlie P: In managing artists like Young Buck, & Bubba Sparxxx collaboration is key. Trust, respect, and clear communication are vital. At BlackFly Music, we prioritize transparency and integrity in our partnerships.
3. Networking events are common in the business world. What’s your socializing drink of choice when connecting with other industry leaders?

Charlie P: Nashville’s community has shaped my ventures. From its musical heritage to its entrepreneurial spirit, it’s been a constant source of inspiration and support. My recent trip to Mexico, with its relaxed vibe and creative sparks from rum and coke, underscores the importance of embracing new experiences.
