Music Talent Agent Career Talk ⋆ Michael DeMarco

Music Talent Agent Career Talk

With more than 25 years as a music talent agent and having started and currently run two agencies, I have found there are very few resources available to music major undergraduates considering a career as a music talent agent. I created one.

Here’s what we cover:

Call my agent! The role of a music talent agent, what has changed and what will always remain the same.
Are you an Artist Manager or are you an Agent?
Show me the money! Concert Economics
An agent’s role beyond concerts
Entrepreneurship and starting your own agency
Seriously, can I do this for a career?

rock your music career - music talent agent.

There are easier ways to earn a living, but hardly one that is more turbulent, demanding, entrepreneurial and fun.

This was never a fall back career choice. For me, live performances were always at the center of all music, not recordings. I wanted to be the person that made the live shows happen.
