Prior to Taylor's development of these influential organizations, there was no formal entity that addressed the educational, networking, or mentoring functions necessary to nurture a new generation for the music industry. Each of these factors is important, but there is no doubt which one Taylor values most: "Networking is what this business - all business, really - is about," she states. "If you want to get ahead, you’ve got to know people. You can be a genius but remain entrenched in obscurity and poverty unless you get out there and let people know who you are." London university
To qualify to become a member of NARIP, you must be a professional in the record industry. "I realized that, beyond organizations like the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) which is a lobbying body that focuses on legislation, there wasn’t an organization that served the needs of those whose careers are completely in the record industry," Taylor stated.

The Beginnings.
"The idea for the Los Angeles Music Network goes back to my first job in the business, with Avalon Attractions, a big concert promoter in Southern California," says Taylor. "Every spoke of the music industry wheel comes together to make a concert happen. Here I was, fresh out of college, and I had access to just about every possible type of professional - from radio to press to record company personnel, from artist managers to the artists themselves." London university
Taylor looked around for an association through which she could meet the people she interacted with on the phone. "I was very surprised not to find anything of real value, so I started putting together little meet-and-greets among the people I was dealing with," she says. "At first, there were only about three or four of us, but it grew. That was the seed that led to my building the professional relationships I have today, not to mention the Job Bank and my mailing list. It’s the best in the business." London university
Some of what LAMN and NARIP do overlaps, and Taylor regularly employs NARIP members for LAMN panels and other functions, and to mentor LAMN members. However, she is keen to provide the right kind of experiences for each group.
For NARIP members, her approach is to take on a continuing-education role. "We should never stop learning and, no matter how much experience we may have, there’s always something else or another point of view that we can absorb and appreciate," Taylor says. London university
