The important aspect that Pearlman was able to apply was that the demographic of young girls from around the ages of twelve and eighteen has a strong connection to the musicians that they like as well as a large disposable income available so they are willing and fully capable of spending on merchandise and records of these boybands. The desire is always there, Lou was just smart enough to see ahead of the curve.
We now have seen that boybands have about a 5 year cycle in which they are popular. Lou was also key in creating the hit show "Making the Band" which spawned the group O-Town and is still airing on MTV.
Lou also added LFO, Aaron Carter, Jordan Knight, Natural and C Note to the Trans Continental Records roster. Trans Continental Studios has harbored such artists as Britney Spears, Creed, Eminem, Matchbox 20, Alicia Keys, Mandy Moore and others.
Lou Pearlman is truly a jack of all trades according to his resume of achievements. He has found success in aviation, movies, music, restaurants and television and continues to pursue new ideas in order to stay competitive in the ever-changing world of the entertainment industry. To those looking to find success in any industry, Pearlman offers this bit of advice: "An entrepreneur is someone who dreams it, then does it."
