On Nov. 19, Atlanta Business Chronicle’s Phil W. Hudson sat down with Kandi Burruss at her studio dubbed “The Kandi Factory” for the relaunch of her music label Kandi Koated Entertainment.

Burruss is a former member of the Atlanta-based platinum-selling group Xscape and a Grammy award-winning singer/songwriter who penned songs such as “No Scrubs" for TLC and "Bills, Bills, Bills” for Destiny's Child. In addition to her musical career, the music, film and play producer has been featured on television shows including The Real Housewives of Atlanta, The Kandi Factory, Kandi's Wedding and Kandi's Ski Trip.

Q: Atlanta Business Chronicle: What can Georgia’s music industry do to capitalize on the momentum of its film industry?

Kandi Burruss: The film industry is doing great things in Georgia right now. But, the thing about the music industry that a lot of people don’t recognize is music has been doing a lot in the entertainment businesses since the 90s..."

Totally agree. It's funny to me when people think of Atlanta's music scene as being "just hip-hop city" (which is an odd thing to use as a put down since hip-hop is the highest selling genre in the world) and don't recognize that the industry is bigger than just the front side of the business. Aside from hip-hop this town has a big front facing presence in rock, pop, R&B, and country. Behind the scenes in production (where the big money is made), it's even bigger.

We're a bit like Manchester, England in that regard. No one ever talks about that city as being a premier city for music, but they basically shaped most of the music industry for the last quarter of the 20th century.

Kandi and Cynthia seem to be the 2 most sensible and genuinely nicest of all the Atlanta Housewives.

Most of what I know about Atlanta is from watching that program. I'll see restaraunts on the program and I'll look them up on Yelp or Trip Advisor and read the reviews.
