MUSIC MANAGERS
Justin Bieber and Manager Scooter Braun
Music
managers may be hired by the artist or in a case like Justin Bieber, the
artists’ manager may have been the one who discovered the talent. The manager’s
overall task is to make decisions when it comes to bookings, promotions,
recording contracts, business deals etc. The managers are also responsible for
hiring other individuals that make up a music career. When an artists’ career
starts to grow, the manager’s responsibilities grow as well, and as the artist
starts the make more money, the manager makes more as well due to the
percentage agreement that is stated in contracts.
I agree with the idea of this post. An artists exposure to the world starts off with a great manager who can market the individual and manifest them into stardom. On the other hand, there have been managers in the music industry that have let greed take over and have actually had a very negative impact on the people they represent.
ReplyDeleteYou're 100% right. We hear about people in the music industry firing and replacing their managers all the time, sometimes it may even be their own parents that they have to fire which is sad. Unfortunately money can change people for the worst and somewhere down the line, having the artists' best interest at heart no longer seems a priority.
