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?
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.
