Watch part two of the interview AlLindstrom.com conducted recently with the Senior Vice President of Island/Def Jam.
In the video Shawn Costner talks about his background in the industry. We learn that he initially wanted to be a writer for TV sitcoms and soon after landed an internship with G Street Records. Later he worked records for Arista, where he was an employee for five years before Andre Harrell even knew who Costner was. For aspiring industry professionals, the importance of strong relationships and consistency in your overall approach is stressed, along with honesty. Last, Costner talks about upcoming Def Jam projects, which includes new releases in 2012 from Big K.R.I.T., Big Sean and Pusha T.
