Do you want to succeed in the music industry? Don’t just make music!

Even if you think you have what it takes to be another Justin Bieber or Taylor Swift, you need to do so much more.

In the past, young musicians would focus their energies on the creative aspect of their music – writing tunes and lyrics, doing live performances. They make demos, send them out to record labels and wait, hoping that they will get signed up.By now you know, it’s a business plan that is passe and failure-bound.

Today’s musicians know the value of getting their act together, both creatively and professionally. Now, they make it their business to be involved in the business side of their career: in designing promotions, identifying the right audience, conceptualizing and staging live gigs, getting radio play, making money from gigs and collecting royalties. Sounds like a lot of work? It is! It takes artist management in action to get your music career moving to where you want it to go, as fast as possible.

To Succeed As A Musician, You Need Help.

Can’t get help from record labels and friends? Then, help yourself. Get a manager!

This way, you can spell out the exact involvement of your manager in your music career: from booking shows, getting promotional opportunities,reviewing contracts, providing you with assistance, running errandsduring shows and tours. Whatever role you want the manager to take on, the important thing is to have a clear and solid agreement between the two of you before the engagement starts.

   success.
