Dr. Christopher Starr’s journey from a young music enthusiast in Waterloo to becoming the CEO and Executive President of CSP Music Group was driven by a deep-seated passion for music and a mission to create opportunities for independent artists. Growing up in the Midwest, he saw firsthand the lack of resources and support available to emerging musicians. This experience inspired him to establish CSP Music Group, a platform designed to provide the essential tools and support that artists need to succeed. His goal has always been to create a company that not only understands the challenges faced by independent musicians but also actively works to overcome them.
One of the significant challenges Dr. Starr faced while building CSP Music Group was establishing credibility and trust within a competitive industry. As a new player, gaining the confidence of both independent artists and industry professionals was crucial. To overcome this, CSP Music Group focused on delivering consistent, high-quality services and building strong relationships with clients. By leveraging testimonials and success stories from early clients, they were able to demonstrate their value and commitment. This approach helped build a solid reputation and establish CSP Music Group as a trusted partner for independent artists.
Balancing his roles in the music industry and real estate requires Dr. Starr to exercise effective time management and a clear understanding of priorities. The ability to negotiate and manage projects in real estate has enhanced his skills in contract management and client relations within the music industry. Conversely, his experience in music has sharpened his creativity and marketing skills, which are beneficial in real estate ventures. Both fields complement each other and contribute to a well-rounded skill set that enhances his effectiveness in each role.
