A manager, an agent, and a publicist walk into a bar...

Who are all these people?

I love the DJs, producers, and other artists who are all about the music because truthfully “music is the answer to your problems.”

But what about everything else??

So many artists are taking on the roles of content creator, marketing professional, booking agent, promoter, and the list goes on. The truth is, a solid team behind you can make or break your career. Whether you’re spinning at a local club or headlining a festival, having the right people in your corner is essential.

Your manager is basically the CEO of your music life — the right-hand person that helps keep your head on straight (maybe even tells off a few people on your behalf… professionally, of course) and ensures you get what you're worth. Then there's the booking agent —the one who gets your face in the place and behind the decks while making sure you’re always in the right place at the right time. Your publicist? They’re the voice that gets your name out there — the storyteller of your team —? who can craft your story that fans and media will love.

There are a few other unsung heroes who are responsible for helping you make sure you keep your shit together like your accountant.?Tax write-off, anyone?

Having these experienced professionals on your team allows you to focus on what you do best— creating and playing music.

I’ve put together a comprehensive guide that breaks down these roles and others. Download it, read it, share it with others. Give me some feedback, it’s the first guide I’m publishing and it’s free!
