Ani Sanyal

I was the lemonade stand kid growing up, and I would draw comic books and try to sell them, and whatever it was, I always had a hustle.

My social handle is Ani Hustles, and I think that just kind of epitomizes what I'm about.

But I think from a record label side, to be able to be creative, tell your narrative, and also make money, that was some exciting times.

So at that time, we had been working with – we had four different artists under the label.

We were – Which was called what, by the way?

Green Street Records.

Green Street Records, yeah.

Yeah, and we were touring nationally pretty much 50%, 60% of the year.

We had developed a merchandise arm.

There was digital music sales.

There were revenue coming in from other brand deals.

And so numbers-wise, I want to say –

yeah, it's tough for me to say because it was all over the place, but it was a very active, you know, full time type of thing.

Top line, man, I want to say, I, so as an artist, after you split everything and you know, my, my personal take home would probably be around like 40, 50,000.

Under that, I would say probably around between 250-ish.

Okay, got it.

End-stage kidney failure, which is essentially the point where you've reached where you're three months, so to speak, until you need to get a transplant or you're on dialysis.

And the caveat to kind of everything that I've said so far, you know, while I was on tour in Japan and touring, you know, scoring a Bollywood film in India and doing all these things, I was managing my condition.

So I was aware of it.

And the doctors would always say, you know, we have no idea how, you know, you're managing with these kind of physical results.
