Let me run it down for you just so you can have fun trying to dispute me later:

If Pimple invests in music the smart thing for him is to do it through a production company. He may take an upstart band with an engineer/producer that may have had a few indie hits OR a rap producer with an act or two and start a production company. Once that company has a hit getting buzz or airplay he will be ready to go to the labels for a deal or J/V.

Are you with me?

At the labels he will have to deal with either A&R VP's or the label heads themselves.

A&R VP's are rarely if ever in suits. Suits are only broken out for special occasions.

Label heads wear both but mostly dress down to the office.

For instance, Rick Rubin at Sony. Lyor Cohen at Warner. Monte Lippman at Universal. These are not native suit wearers.

Sure, there's the Clive Davis's (J/RCA) and the Doug Morrises(UMG) of the world that are always dressed up but if Pimperton gets that far it means he has a smash hit that's selling Extremely well... and in that case he can wear shit stained diapers with sockless Crocs in an office and still get whatever he wants.

As a matter of fact, dressing up and carrying yourself in a fake way to get into the business is not a good idea. The musicians won't trust you and neither will the DJ's and radio station people.

I'm amazed that I'm going to say this but Trey should just be himself. He'd fit in that world well.
