KM: How did Nice Entertainment come about? What artists do you work with?
CC: I met my brother Squidnice back in 2017. He had the idea to start and build a record label together. Shortly after, I turned those dreams into reality and Nice Entertainment was born. In the next few months to follow, I met artists Bobbynice & Smaccnice. We immediately hit it off, which made the creative process such a success.
KM: You have your own recording studio in New Jersey under the Nice Entertainment umbrella. How does that impact your roster of clients under your management?
CC: This gives any artist under my management a huge advantage. Free studio time is available to them, at their convenience.
KM: What do you look for in an artist when considering working with them?
