Artist Management
Companies
For a new artist/band, the choice of a
manager/management company is of crucial importance.
You’ll want to be represented by someone with total
belief in you and whom you can trust to deal with just
about every aspect of your career outside actually
writing the songs.
A friend or fan may have the enthusiasm,
but you’ll need someone with industry contacts or at
least the confidence to look and act the
part.
If a person or company has been recommended to
you, obviously that’s a good start. Otherwise, try to
talk to as many different managers as you can until you
get a feel for the one who seems like the best fit. Look
at their roster of artists; try to speak to one or two of
them to get their feedback (many management companies
list their roster on their website, with links to their
artists’ websites).
It’s becoming harder for a new artist to attract
a big-name manager, as it’s more lucrative for them to
concentrate on their existing acts. But if you can
interest an up-and-coming manager, perhaps currently
working within an established company, who is ready to
branch out – that may be one way to
go.
