The Relationship Between an Artist and Manager

For this blog, I want to discuss the relationship between an artist and manager. The relationship between an artist and their manager should be a good one. It is important for the artist and manager to have a strong relationship. It is important because the manager is going to be in charge for making the artist career a successful one. The manager should be considered, the artist best friend. When first building a relationship between the artist and manager, it is important for the artist to get to know the manager’s background. The artist is always going to want someone who is going to have his or her best interests. An artist can easily replace a manager when they feel that their manager is not doing their job.

Once the artist has picked a manager, it is important for the two to establish a relationship and set expectations between the two. It will take time for the relationship to build. Do not expect to become best friends overnight. It is important for the manager, to understand what the artist expectations are. The artist wants to know what can you add to his/her career. Once the artist and manager have set expectations, then the relationship can start. Once that relationship is established between the two, you want to make sure that it will stay that way. It is important for a manager not to get to comfortable and start to slack on his/her job. An artist can always go out and find a new manager if that person is not doing his/her job.

In conclusion, it is very important for the artist and the manager to have a good relationship with each other. When that relationship is made it is important for the manager to not forget why he/she was hired in the first place.http://resilienceartistmanagement.com/the-relationship-between-artist-and-manager-what-you-should-know/

The Role of an Artist Manager

For this blog post, I chose to write about is the role of an artist manager.  A manager’s job is to make sure the artist have a successful music career. A manager should be an artist’s best friend. A manager should plan the artist’s schedules and represent the artist when it comes to contracts, negotiations, and anything else that is going to determine the artist career. A manager should always attend professional events as well, to make sure that everything is going as planned for the artist. The managers will be the go to guy/girl for anything that is dealing with the artist. You are not going to get to the artist without going through the manager first.

A manager should always be available to the artist whenever he/she is needed. If your not available for your artist, then you are not doing your job. Artists should be able to call on you for anything at anytime. A manager is responsible for molding the artist’s career. When managing an artist, that artist should not have to worry about a thing. It is important to always make the best decision for the artist, when it comes to negotiation and contracts. A manager is responsible, for making sure that the artist has a successful career in every way. It is important that the manager constantly looks for business opportunities for the artist. The manager is responsible for leading the artist down the right path.

In conclusion, the manager plays an important role in the artist’s life. Being a manager is a big role to play. Anyone can be a manager, but it takes the right person to make the artist’s career a successful one. As I stated before, it is important to make sure that every decision is made in the best interest of the artist.http://www.hypebot.com/hypebot/2011/10/the-changing-role-of-artist-management-after-the-death-of-the-record-business.html http://blog.tunecore.com/2011/02/artist-managers-must-understand-their-role-is-now-business-development.html
