Event Logistics:
Hot Mike’s microphone preference is a Countryman H6 Omnidirectional Headset or Sennheiser XSW 1-ME2 Wireless Lavalier Microphone System – A Range (lapel clip-on) mic. A wireless handheld can be used if absolutely necessary. If there are fewer than 25 people in the audience a microphone isn’t needed.
If you wish to record the event, please notify Music Producer Hot Mike or a member of our team in advance. We have various licensing options available which we can talk through if you are hoping to record his presentation for future distribution. Relatedly, please do not post any slides or other content that you may have received from our team for the attendees without first running it by us.
Please arrange a time for Hot Mike to be able to do a quick walkthrough and sound check when none of the attendees are in the room, preferably 30-60 minutes before his presentation.
Clients often ask if Hot Mike will be available for a “meet and greet” with attendees to answer questions and visit. Hot Mike is always happy to do so (and actually much prefers to have a chance to meet with attendees!) and will arrange all details in advance.
Most importantly, Music Producer Hot Mike is there to SERVE you and your audience!
Suggested Intro:
“A multi-instrumentalist, a Multi-Platinum Music Producer for MC Hammer (and others), creator of ‘The Hype Hip Hop Sound’, an Award Winning Entrepreneur, featured on the cover of the international music periodical KEYBOARD Magazine, the subject of multiple articles and books… Music Producer Hot Mike.”
A nice, short intro like this is way better than reading Hot Mike’s full bio aloud. But if you’d like more facts, the bio has them.
Final Thoughts:
Email is preferred and most reliable (as it gives us all a historical thread of conversation). You can email at booking@officialhotmike.com – this email goes to Hot Mike’s PR/Management team, Sunlight International Mgmt, Inc. (who makes sure you receive a reply).
