ALL EXCE$$: Occupation: Concert Promoter By: Danny Zelisko

Author: Danny Zelisko

Danny Zelisko’s career began unassumingly in the early 1960’s at the tender age of eight, when he heard “Please Please Me” by The Beatles and demanded all of his friends to listen to it.  While growing up, Danny had a natural ability to meet people from all walks of life. Being in the right place at the right time, he got to watch and even help some of them become famous. Following his instincts, he did what any young guy would do, who possessed an ear for music and charisma for dealing with celebrities… he became a Concert Promoter.

What does it take to be a concert promoter?
A combination of money, guts, gambling, knowledge, dumb luck and ignorance.
Yes, all of the above and so much more!
