Business is in his blood. That’s why making the transition from accountant to President and COO of I’m Ready Productions was easy for Gary Guidry. The 36-year-old currently directs the business side of I’m Ready and oversees its musical operations.
Guidry, who was a child music prodigy, decided to forgo his love of music for his love of business and enrolled in Texas Southern University in Houston. He went on to receive a Business Administration degree, with a concentration in Accounting. After graduating, Gary spent four years as an accountant for a safety supply company and went on to become a manager for a major oil and gas company.
But , even though he was busy dazzling the business world, that passion for music never left him. He continued to play drums all over the country, and dabbled in other music ventures.
Although he was known to throw a few parties during his college days and put on numerous events, he didn’t envision making a living with such productions, until Je’Caryous – his nephew – called with the idea to form I’m Ready Productions.
In addition to his academic training and experience, Guidry has written, arranged, produced, and scored music for multiple theatrical productions, including Heaven’s Child, Ain’t Misbehavin’, Men Cry in the Dark, The Maintenance Man, and Friends and Lovers. As president and COO of I’m Ready Productions, he also directs the music production operations. He has worked with some of the music industry’s most successful talents, such as Grammy Award winner Regina Belle, Gerald Levert, Syleena Johnson, Christopher
Williams, Brian McKnight, Monifa, Rhona Bennet, Alyson Williams and R&B group H-Town.
