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
