OZZY Bassist Blasko Launches Hard Market Authority

OZZY OSBOURNE's bassist Rob "Blasko" Nicholson has started a new company - Hard Market Authority.

In addition to touring and recording with The Prince Of Darkness Blasko co-founded Mercenary Management who manages IN THIS MOMENT, AT ALL COSTS, GOATWHORE, SOILENT GREEN and CREATURE FEATURE.

HMA will be a sub division of Mercenary Management, Inc. focused on underground, signed or unsigned bands and musicians motivated to take the next step in their career but currently feel lost and directionless. Blasko says, "I receive many inquiries from bands looking for management. More times than not, soliciting and/or hiring a manager is not the answer. To me, it often feels like the band is making a decision out of desperation due to a lack of progress. If you feel that your career has hit a wall, then possibly the answer lies in consulting with someone who has answers to your questions, as well as advice to help inspire motivation and momentum. Knowledge is power and that is the purpose of HMA. No one can guarantee success, and anyone who claims they can is full of shit. I can only provide valuable information from an experienced perspective, and the outcome of what you do with that info will be based on your own drive and determination.

If you take your career seriously and are hungry for success, then what I have to offer may be for you. The bottom line is the music business is still a business. Music is simply the product that is being sold. As a musician you know what you are selling, but do you feel confident that you have what it takes to sell it?"
