Questions, answered
What people ask before they call.
What does HSP ENT do?
HSP ENT is the tour and production company of Brother Hassan Sharif. We book The LOX direct, manage tours and production for artists, and advance and produce live shows for festivals, arenas and network television.
What is the difference between a tour manager and a production manager?
A tour manager runs the tour: routing, budgets, travel, schedules and settlement with the promoter. A production manager runs the show itself: stage, audio, lighting, crew and load-in to load-out. HSP does both under one roof, so there is one point of contact from the first advance to the last case on the truck.
What is show advancing?
Advancing is the work done before show day: confirming the venue, stage plot, audio and lighting needs, schedule, hospitality and crew calls with the promoter and venue, so the artist only has to walk on stage. HSP has advanced thousands of shows across four continents.
Who does HSP work with?
Artists, managers, promoters, venues and brands. Credits include The LOX, Ja Rule, Ashanti, DMX, Fugees, Lauryn Hill, Rihanna, Jhene Aiko, A Boogie wit da Hoodie, the Hard Knock Life Tour and Verzuz at Madison Square Garden. See the full list on the Projects page.
