    Artist Manager is what I go with but I would transistion to Talent manager when I begin to grow into managing other kinds of acts. Such as comedians, speakers, or authors. I would really love to help authors out.

    Also, I am a singer/guitar player that has written a few songs but does mostly cover songs. Is an agent ever willing to work with and help blossom a singer that doesnt really have anything to work with? (i.e., singing mostly covers, no fan base, now shows, no gigs?) Or does an artist already need to have some history of success?

    • @SmartistU
      @SmartistU  3 роки тому

      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.

    I love this video it is so informative. I'm an artist with over 12 million streams on Spotify, I have a verified IG and Facebook page (I didn't pay for my verification, I received it in 2021). I've made a decent amount of money from streams and production cuts, so I think I'm doing a few things right. I also have been featured on several Spotify editorial pages. I'm slowly growing my UA-cam channel, but I've received a lot of love on it as well and put in the work and money to create some music videos. I've been an artist for over 5 years, and I still can't seem to find a manager who knows the business side of things, to help me level up. I would love to link up with a manager here who wants to take a leap with me and level things up. I'm based in LA.

    Hey. Thanks for sharing. I have a question. i was verbally managing an artist for over one year where i connected him to all possible avenues, got him massive concerts, I housed him, paid for all his travels etc. I later introduced him to a song writer and verbally agreed on producing an album with the artist and song writer. luckily i have all the discussions of our journey on my h6 recorder as we used to record spontateous sessions and all discussions. It was a heartbreak to find out that he no longer wants to work with me. The artist has now left me and decided to finish the album with the song writer. what should i do to ensure i am compensated for my efforts.

      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.

      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.
