ABSTRACT

CONSIDERING ARTIST MANAGEMENT AS A PROFESSION Whatever your title-manager, personal manager, artist manager, brand manager,

or representative-managing artists in the music business means that you are

becoming a part of every facet of someone else’s life. There is virtually no aspect

of the professional and personal corners of an artist’s life that a manager doesn’t

encounter on a regular basis. Helping direct the career success of an artist requires

significant involvement in their life. A manager who is new to the profession will

find it to be immensely time-consuming and slow to deliver rewards, yet energiz-

ing with its fast pace and regular challenges.
