Today my guest is Felicia Bennett. She is an artist manager and formerly a tour manager. She now manages Taner\\xe9lle, the breakout R&B artist. This last year they\'ve had an incredible year. Taner\\xe9lle toured with Ari Lennox over Europe. She had a massive sync in Insecure, which propelled her song to No. 1 on the Shazam charts. She was the December 2020 playmate of Playboy. She\'s also an actress and starred in Victoria Monet\'s latest music video. 

At the start of the pandemic, they did an amazing virtual live concert for Trillerfest. Taner\\xe9lle was also part Rihanna\'s Savage X Fenty lingerie line as a model. She has a very diverse career with many different facets, and I dig in with Felicia on how all of that happened, how they\'re making it work, and how they\'re planning out the trajectory for this interesting and diverse career.
