How To Become A Successful Artist Manager


I sometimes wonder how many people are truly interested in becoming a successful Artist Manager. There are plenty of artist managers such as Sean P. Daddy Combs and others that have successfully completed the ultimate goal of being a manager for an artist who has the gift and talent to become a great artist. Most people would say that by going to school and attending certain classes are the key to b becoming a successful manager. But say you don't have the funding to attend school, what do you do then? Well you can always have the pleasure to look into books or have the ability to self-study. If you don’t have the access to funding for college or university, another option is to purchase some of the various books available on the topic of how to become a music manager and/or studying much of the material available online in the form of blogs, articles, forum postings, newsletters, etc. You can also attend music business conferences and/or seminars in order to get valuable information from the various panelists and establish connections with attendees and sponsors. One important key that I feel maybe very important to becoming a successful artists manager would be to find an internship at Management Company, so that they could show you the guidelines. They could tell you that most managers earn 10 to 15% in commission. By reading the article that is listed above, you will get a better view on how becoming an artist manager is very tedious work, but also can be a very well paid and fun job! One more important fact about this job, you will also need to evaluate how much time you have available to devote to the task of music management since your (and your artists’) chances of success are directly related to how much quality time you put into the job.
