When do you need a Music Manager?

By: B. Brown of BREG Mgt.

If you ask the average aspiring artist if they need a Music Manager, they would probably say yes off the rip. When you ask them why they need a manager, you may get everything under the sun and then some. The reality is that most up and coming artists do not know when to hire a Music Manager.

Here's the scoop! All my artists out there, listen up! You need a Music Manager when you have too many phone calls coming in, too many MySpace messages asking to do business with you, and a lot feature and performance requests. You see, you have to have enough going on to warrant a Music Manager! You have to be able to pay your Music Manager. He or she works for you, not you working for them.

A lot of Artists want a Music Manager because they want he/she to get them a deal and do everything for them. Some Artists want the Music Manager to provide money to them and be their personal chauffer. Some Artists just want to be baby-sitted.

When you are ready to have a Music Manager, usually they will start approaching you and even though some may approach you at a premature time in your career, you may just find a good fit. You should interview candidates and they should definitely interview you as an Artist. Managing your Music Career is a 24 hr. business and a very personal relationship in most cases. Take your time, don't rush things, and continue to develop your craft and then poof, a Music Manager will appear. At that time, you decide if it is time for a manager and who do you pick as your Music Manager!!!

One Love!
