This
world is fulfilled with overwhelming talent and future stars. It is important
that people realize that in this world it is important that people understand
that it is not necessarily what you know, but whom you know. I truly believe that
it is important that people realize that you have to sell yourself in a
positive way that will allow you to succeed in today's society. The music
industry is full of great and positive artist, but for an artist to have
opportunities and success in his career, you have to have the dedication,
perfection in your work, enthusiasm, and most importantly a manager that you
can trust and see yourself building a well organized and protected relationship
with. I personally feel it is important for that artist manager to help the
artist develop his craft by setting up important studio time, making sure that
his artist is getting the proper sleep and food so that his artist is looking
the part of a professional and well appreciated star. An artist manager’s duty
reflects on how well his artist performs on stage and during interviews. It’s
important he sees his artist best interest at heart. The relationship between
the manager and artist needs to be mutual in order for everything to go
smoothly. I have seen and heard how certain individuals would work together,
and would not successfully complete an objective because the artist and manager
were not on the same page. One thing that I feel is really important for both parties
would for both to be completely honest with each other. The trust worthy
sequence between the two should always jell in a fashion that will make both
parties feel well appreciated towards each other. I recently did an interview
with a guy by the name of Vladimir Colon, and one thing that I remember he
mentioned about being an artist manager or a person who provides serves would
be that it should always be the artist manager's duty to build a good rapport
and to work harder than what your artist is putting out. The reason why as
manager you should fulfill theses qualifications, it will provide stability
between you and your artist. The person who shows his or her hard work gives
the motivation.
I
took the time to look up interviews based on the success from artist managers,
and I came across Delante Murphy. He has managed Trey Songs,
Usher, Brittany Spears, and a lot of other successful artist. I listened to a
couple of his techniques when managing an artist, and I can honestly say I have
a better view on what comes with artist management.
