The REAL Story Behind Music Management Secrets | Yelawolf's Manager Ed Crowe

A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step. For Edward Crowe, each step along that path has brought its own costs and gains, losses and lessons, as well as opportunities to see reality through a different lens. From childhood, young Edward was captivated by all things magical and otherworldly, fueled by numerous books on spirituality and the occult that his grandmother gave him. As a teenager, he excelled as a magician, performing both close-up and stage magic until, at 16, Guillain-Barré syndrome left him paralyzed and on life support. What followed was a painful, years-long recovery, during which he was forced to confront his own determination. Discipline rebuilt his body, but it was creativity and spirituality that fostered a new perception. While moving through the ranks of the music business, from roadie to tour manager, to artist management, and accomplished photographer, Crowe turned to the study of sacred plant medicine and of psychedelics as a way of grounding. "Things were so hectic on the road and there were so many different personalities & energies everywhere. The ceremonies became a way of re-centering and showing me new ways to think about problem solving and who I am in all this." From student participating in psilocybin ceremonies to guiding them, he once told an uninitiated "I wouldn't say psilocybin's the answer, more so, it's a key that can unlock the door that leads to the answer." Amongst his peers, Edward Crowe has become a trusted psychedelic guide and mentor, helping them to-see the bigger picture within themselves. "That's what 'Happy Birthday is - a daily reminder that every day is the first day of the rest of your life. It's yours to embrace. It's yours to live." - Happy Birthday! Edward Crowe, co-founder of Sebek Distribution & CEO of Murder Cigars, is a music business executive, entrepreneur, internationally published photographer and mystic whose 20+ year career bridges entertainment, spirituality, and cultural innovation.
