Some people make their own luck--Adina Friedman, of West Bloomfield, is one of them. Friedman, 28, who now lives in New York City, left town after college to pursue her dream of working in the music industry.
She works by day at Warner Music and all other hours managing artists for Good Kid Entertainment, a company she started two years ago. "I oversee all aspects of their career, from their live shows to touring to their album release," she says. Her favorite part: watching other people fall in love with her artists.
She's currently managing April Smith and the Great Picture Show and The Dig, which means she's glued to her Blackberry most of the time making sure everything's going smoothly. "There is no typical day," she says of her gig.
When she's not working, she can be found at a show or grabbing a bite at one of the fleet of restaurants the city has to offer.
Her favorite finds: Public transit and being able to navigate it, Ethiopian food. "Never in a million years would I have thought I would have liked it."
What she misses most about metro D: Singing in the car. "You can't do that walking around New York with your iPod, at least, without getting funny looks."
Wonders what happened to: Adrian Zuckerman, Jill Gold, and the rest of her NFWB teammates...
