Artist and repertoire, (A&R for short) is a music industry term that refers to the division of a record label that is responsible for scouting and developing talent. The A&R department is the link between the recording artist/act and the record label, and is often required to handle contractual negotiations, find songwriters and record producers for the act, and schedule recording sessions.
One of the A&R department's main jobs is sorting through the plethora of demo tapes sent by hopeful musicians to the label. A&R departments typically only accept solicited demos, or ones from business contacts with which they are familiar.
Psalm 118:8 It Is Better To Trust The Lord Than To Put Confidence In Man!!! They ask me...........How do I survive @ 165, in the city where the skinny niggaz die. I'm a Go-Getta............I work like a slave, to live like a king. Everybody who I ever looked up to, was either..........dead, in jail or a multi-millionaire by the age of 25. Which direction do you think I'm going?!
