» A Letter Of Thanks From MJ Of Household Management!

This started out as just a “thanks from Household” note, but as I continued writing it, it tuned very much more into a “Thank you from MJ personally” letter. So I hope you will indulge me for a second because there are some things I really want to say:

I know you guys hear this from me all the time, but it really is true. Without you, we are nothing. As I enter year 17 of throwing events in Atlanta, and year 3 of running our agency, I think it is a good time to stop and reflect on how we got here. It is because of you. Whether by “you” I mean our fans, patrons, and supporters, who come out to every show we throw even if they have never heard of the headliner, because they trust that if we are bringing them they must be good, or the artists that we represent globally with our agency, who put their careers in our hands and trust us to do what is best with them: I have only two words: Thank you.

We are very blessed to be able to do what we love to do for a living. I know many of you hear me boasting that we are “the best” often, and I really do feel that we are. We indeed do bust our ass every day, so you can shake your ass. But I don’t just say that out of arrogance. I know better than most what it is like to be the Underdog, and do be working in an unsupportive scene. For many many years it was like pulling teeth here to get anybody to come out to anything in this town. I know a lot of our detractors claim that we are “only in this for the money”, because we are now able to bring in big shows on a consistent basis, but let me assure you we have lost more money than we have ever made doing this, and if that was our only motivation we would have hung this up a long time ago.

I also want to take a chance to thank my team. My partner Brandon, who many of you know as the DJ Mark Yurm, lives, sleeps, and breathes Household Management. If it were not for him, we would not be near as far along as we are now. I say all the time that we are 5 years ahead with our agency of where I planned to be by this time, when we started it. Brandon is the reason for that. Without him, I would be dead. As he says all the time, “It takes a whole team of people to make MJ look that good.” And he is right. I could list them all here now, but you know who you are. We do have one of the best teams in Dance Music, anywhere in the world. In my opinion. Thank you to all of you.

Thank you to our artists who we either manage, do bookings for, or just all out represent across the board. It is an honor to be able to work with a roster of talented artists such as yourselves. I think of all of you as family, and there isn’t a day that goes by where I don’t realize what it means to look after someone else’s career. It is a deeply meaningful job to me. One of the highest calling. And one I take very very seriously. Thank you all for giving us a chance to get to know you, and work with you. Some of you are my heroes who I grew up listening to, and I cant believe that I am now working with you. And some of you are about to be the biggest stars on the planet. Whoever you are, if it says Household Management next to your name in any capacity, know this. There is nothing I wouldn’t do for you, and I have your back forever. Period.

But back to our fans. Words cant describe how amazing you guys make us feel. One of my biggest joys in life is to see your responses when we announce a show or a headliner and you guys go crazy about it. That is really the reason I still do this. There is no better feeling in the world than getting people excited, and then making them dance. That’s all we really want to do. Give the people of Atlanta a great show to dance at. Thats what we try and do every time. It is our Mission Statement if you will. “All I wanna do is make the whole crowd bounce ya’ll”. And you guys are the reason that it is possible for us to do that. Thank you from the bottom of our, and my, hearts. And we promise to keep doing everything we can to keep bring the biggest and best shows to Atlanta. We are not going anywhere. Because of you.
