Title: Dispelling the Myth of Needing a Manager as an Independent Artist

do you need a manager or are you just being lazy cause so many tiny artists reach out to me and say oh well I need management to get anywhere it’s like no you don’t because you don’t have anything to properly manage cause if you can’t do the work to get some traction going on your own to show a path towards profitability then other people aren’t gonna be that motivated to come do all the hard work for you cause remember in the vast majority of cases managers are working on a commission if you’re not generating a meaningful amount of profit or you don’t have a clear path to generating a meaningful amount of profit why would a manager wanna come in because people need to see you are doing the work and that you have a base understanding of the industry to move things forward I work with a ton of really big artists and none of them just sit around and do music all day anyways when an artist brings out management they have even more work to do because suddenly they have to approve way more stuff and they have to be meeting way more people and hearing about all these other different things that the manager has going on and signing off on them if you’re being lazy the manager is just gonna hip-pocket you and worry about their artists who do make money and who do work hard follow for more DM for private consultation
