Marc Geiger is one of the main power brokers in the Music Business. He runs Worldwide Music at WME and books all sorts of monster tours, and he is #9 on Billboard's Top 100 Players of the Music Industry. So, how did Marc get started in the business and end up as one of the most successful players? Marc walked the tried-and-true path of going to college and jumping onto the concert committee, booking shows. Marc talks how that led him to starting his own company from within college, being a late-night DJ for a radio station, and ultimately closing down his own operation to work for the bigger Avalon Attractions. With plenty experience early on working in the Concert Business, it's no shock that Marc eventually grew into being one of the most powerful Agents in the Biz today!
