@@joannalynn324 Hi Joanna! I’m in Chicago too and wanting to start this new role as well to manage an artist. How has talent manager position been going for you, it’s been one year since you commented.

@@joannalynn324 Hi Joanna i am also an aspiring talent manager too and i wondering if we could be friend and maybe network together for the seek of your artist

The same!

Lol the cabin I'm in? Yes, very old!

Happy to hear!

Keep it up Okiki!

Hope you enjoyed what you found here! :)

do it up!

Hi Chiara e Dolce. I am learning how to manage a music artist. My son is an aspiring artist who has hired me to become his manager. How did you make out with managing your daughter? If all is going well, do you also mind sharing what your experience has been like?

I would ask a lawyer or another producer friend if you can. But if you're producing that's separate from management. Should perhaps discuss a producers fee or producer points on the album.

Good question Max. Agents (like pretty much everyone else in the industry) want to represent people who already have something to “work with”. They want a show they can book and know they can make their commission off of it. Managers are usually more likely to spend their time developing an act they believe in. Agent, not so much. They sell shows. So if you don’t have a show they have nothing to sell.

hope it's going well!

Me lol

I mean... 2020 happened since you made this comment... BUT I just found this old article I wrote. It's still helpful today: smartistu.com/how-to-get-booked-on-a-festival. Also.... just network. Obviously, live performance is different right now but just keep building your contact network. Make friends with people in that scene.

@@SmartistU this article is super helpful thank you! Yes 2020 was nuts and crushed soo most of my live performances, but what an opportunity it gave me as an online presence.

@@ShoeBoxMoses Glad it helped!!

the world is yours for the taking. stay driven.

GREAT question has anyone got back to you on this? I'd be interested to know what they say.

@@ShoeBoxMoses no responses yet.. waiting for our chair lady to respond. Hehe

I just wrote a super long reply and then accidentally hit the back button.

Let me try this again... I endured this exact situation several years ago, so my heart breaks for you. Unfortunately, this is very common. Unfortunately, you likely will not receive compensation. Any time and money you would put into an attorney would likely not be worth it. Perhaps you could consult with someone with a law background to write a letter of intent to your 'defendant' in an effort to prompt them to cough up some dough without having to take legal action. In my case, my client had a heart, I simply asked them to pay me, and a year later I ended up receiving about 10% of what I should have been owed. IMO, chalk it up to a fantastic, volunteer learning experience. Take what you've learned, find a new artist you love, and SIGN A CONTRACT immediately. Talk about commission before you even start working with them. Then agree on a monthly revenue report (from the artist) and monthly pay structure.

@@SmartistU thanks alot man. I decided to let the past be. I learnt exactly how to manage musicians and I did exactly what you suggested. In 2 months I managed to sort out all his agendas and now he is touring all over the world. Now pushing 5 more artists. I worked really hard for that artist and gave up my architecture practice, but I was honest and true to my methods. Now I host a free artists clinic every saturday and help package and support them.

Ps Im Loving the channel very helpful

@@sonark289 Happy to hear! We have a new community opening on Tuesday if you want to connect with others. I just posted a new video all about it!

@@SmartistU ok great will check this out, thanks for the heads up 😁

Head to smartistU.com/free!

if i’m not wrong, it’s business and enterprise

If you're not 110% confident in the manager, just make sure you don't accept a deal which is hard to get out of. You really don't want to end up in a situation where a manager is taking a cut of your earnings for 5 years but doesn't offer you any significant value.

I would say dont overthink it bro. Ive been in management for 9 months now and am managing 3 artists about to pick up my 4th hopefully today. Im happy to connect and talk business and help how I can even though I am new. Sammy@thedeebgroup.com

Sammy Speaks that sounds good! Thanks for the advice!

Do you mean for you as the manager to have a good following? Or you want to get started by helping the artist get a good following?

You as the manager definitely do not need a following. Unless you want to use that as leverage to prove to an artist you know how to build a social media audience and will help them build theirs as well. But it comes down to results. You want to land them opportunities that result in income. Focus on revenue generation.

@@SmartistU I can't find the link to the templates😪😪

Thank you for watching !
