Today we’d like to introduce you to Tony Hickey.
Hi Tony, thanks for joining us today. We’d love for you to start by introducing yourself.
From Video to Music to Graphic Design, creating IS who I am. Along with being a Godly, grateful, and dedicated Husband and Father. At a young age, my love for art and music took me on a defining journey through lived experiences to sharing the stage and studio with so many other talented musicians, songwriters, and producers. Playing in bands and performing as a solo artist for much of my time being fully invested in music as a career became more and more difficult as I became a father. Even though it might have seemed like a dimming of my continued dream to make music solely my career, it was a flashing light to my true direction.
Songwriting and Music Production all became more and more of a niche and a calling. With my many years of experience as an Audio Engineer/Producer and having a Professional Technological background, Video Production came very natural to me. As a visual, creative, and performing artist, coupled with being a passionate songwriter and an audio and production expert. It all comes together to give me the ability to bring to life immersive and compelling stories through visual and audible productions for my clients and professionals alike that are captivating and impressionable.
Alright, so let’s dig a little deeper into the story – has it been an easy path overall, and if not, what were the challenges you’ve had to overcome?
I don’t really think there’s ever going to be a smooth road to most things in life that are worth having. This is what builds your character and contributes to you learning who you are and what you’re capable of.
I’ve definitely had and still have challenges. I feel that when we do attribute every diversity as a struggle that’s exactly what we do… struggle. But when you look at it as a challenge then you understand that it’s an opportunity for growth and learning. Not many people, especially these days, figure that out. You have to earn things in life, nothing truly comes free and easy, and if it does it’s almost always not worth it.
The appreciation you gain when you go through challenges is what defines the outcome of who you become when you achieve your goals. It’s all very humbling and incredibly surprising because you realize that what you once thought of yourself to who you’ve become is beyond what you could’ve ever imagined.
Alright, so let’s switch gears a bit and talk business. What should we know?
GoMannGo Productions is a client-focused production studio offering audio/video productions and graphic design. We specialize in the content and media businesses and professional individuals need to stand out in a professional and impressionable way while staying true to who they are as a brand and/or professional.
My focus is to get to know my clients on a personal level and really dig into what it is that makes them who they are and their brand. Each business and professional has something unique that makes them who they are, and this is what I like to capture and highlight.
Businesses need to have content/media that conveys this to their client base/audience and not the typical corporatized style that is always predictable and boring. We’ve all seen the typical too many times and always with the same regurgitated messages of how they operate as a business.
GoMannGo Productions breaks through all of this and brings the beauty of corporate, artistic, and cinematic together that our clients can truly feel proud of, connected to and that truly represents them and know that they are getting a completely custom piece of work that’s not done with a templated model. Businesses shouldn’t feel pressured by signing onto a script and pre-assumed idea of how an agency thinks they should be represented. It’s like building a house and if the house was designed without your input, you will most likely not be truly happy with it and not have a connection to the house. Not all businesses are the same even if they’re offering the same products or services.
This is what sets us apart. Your Vision is our Mission cause We See it too!
Do you have recommendations for books, apps, blogs, etc.?
Lol… I think we can all say YouTube. Other than that, and just constantly ensuring that I am learning and doing new techniques in my craft to be as professional and versatile as possible, that’s pretty much it.
But I mainly give credit to God, and I definitely wouldn’t be where I’m at today if it wasn’t for my incredible and amazing Wife. Her support and love is inspirational and keeps me going.
