Product and Artist Management

This month I really got closer with my understanding of my position as a manager in two different ways. With the lessons that were taught to me and also recalibrated in my functions of life I realized that stepping over my boundary has been done over the years; therefore I took this month to step back and see what all my people I have been keeping my eyes on have been doing. I felt this had to be done to check myself and all the services I have been providing over the years has not been so successful for me or my team for a long time. We have refocused on what type of music we are making to the new designs for the clothing line. This is not to slow up any production of any or both in our time frame of getting to our goal but to reevaluate our path we have been walking. This has only been able to be done by me giving thanks to my instructor Mrs. Jill Craddock, and my mentor Mr. Xavier Scott. These two people have really taken me to another atmosphere this month from learning, to thinking, to making a new plan for things to come and putting together another event soon after I graduate and hopefully also putting together a major function before I graduate as well.

 I want to make sure that my readers understand me. Research, research, research, this action or may I say this word is your friend in this business. Whether in product branding or building your career the need to know and find avenues to be different, find funding, and even find something or someone to stand in front of the product or indorse the product that you want to hit the market these are ingredients for success.

With me learning the artist management side this month tells me one thing to my entire artist group that are reading this. Find an event, make an event, or even partner with other artist in your area and start thinking homemade tour action from county to county, or state to state. Shows, concerts, open mic parties these are your focuses next month. With these steps and my learning of this month you make your on worth and no one will give you what you want if you don’t step out and just do it. So stop waiting and go do because with or without a manager you really can be the manager and artist you always wanted to be. It is that simple only if you choose the path you really want to be on you must know the functions that go with what you are choosing to do.

 With every job title comes great responsibility know your roles, play them wisely, and be capable of holding your position for what ever slot you are choosing.
