Your Questions, Answered

  • Build momentum first. Managers are drawn to artists who show traction—strong branding, consistent releases, engaged fans, and clear direction. Grow your audience, refine your story, and demonstrate commitment. Then reach out professionally with a concise pitch and proof of progress.

  • Research managers who represent artists similar to you. Look at album credits, industry articles, LinkedIn, and social media. Attend showcases and networking events. Warm introductions always outperform cold emails.

  • Booking agents typically come on board once you’ve proven ticket-selling power. Strong local draw, consistent live shows, and solid streaming numbers make you attractive. Often, a manager helps secure an agent once you’re ready.

  • Identify agencies that work within your genre and touring level. Study festival lineups and tour announcements to see which agents represent artists like you. Focus on fit—an agent who understands your market will deliver stronger results.

  • Most music managers work on commission—typically 10–20% of the artist’s gross income. They only earn when you earn. Be cautious of managers asking for large upfront fees; legitimate managers usually invest their time in exchange for long-term partnership.
