So You Need A Manager
The first thing that I would do is learn as much as you possibly can about the music business before seeking management. The music business is a tough business that requires a lot of patience and persistence. The most important thing is to have faith in your talent and follow your passion. Read as many music business books that you can possibly get your hands on. I recommend Donald Passman’s All You Need To Know About The Music Business. I would also check out resources like starpolish.com and our website www.theindustryconnect.com. Once you have a solid grasp of the business, I would contact a local producer so you can get a quality song or songs produced. I would work on trying to build a regional fan base through social networking sites like twitter and facebook, and I would invest in getting your own website. The music business is a “business” so make sure that you have some financing in place and are thinking of yourself as a business as opposed to just an artist. I wouldn’t advise anyone to try to seek management until they have a grasp of the business.
