You're missing my point. An investor might produce a record. That same investor might offer fashion tips to his investment. However, when he is offering those fashion tips, he's not acting as a producer; conversely, when he's producing the record, he's not acting as an image consultant.
Music ≠ Image. Not saying the two aren't (for better or worse...usually worse
)
related, not saying one doesn't have influence over the other (for better or worse...usually worse
) but they are not the same thing.
My point is don't put on your image consultant hat to make a record, and don't put on your record producer hat to help your artist pick out a pair of shoes.
