  1. Why Do Bands and Artists Need Managers? (Lincoln Plowman) In the eyes of musicians, an artist manager is a slob stuffed into an off-the-rack suit and heavy-set. Managers of art generally strive to help their clients achieve their dreams by working hard, being selfless, and being well- meaning people. Lincoln Plowman is a native of Indianapolis and an Artist. Record Labels once had a common policy of developing recording artists' careers. Developing an act no longer requires hundreds of dollars.

  2. There are several reasons why a band or artist must have a talented manager: How to Choose a Career: An artist's manager helps to provide career guidance and develop the artist's overall strategy, as well as setting the overall game plan for success. Sporting Cheers and Achieving Prestige: An artist manager is someone who shares the passion and energy of an artist with their fans, as well as the music industry. A music businessperson must communicate this enthusiasm to record labels, booking agents, promoters, media personnel, club bookers, and independent retail accounts. Managers are capable of making decisions without getting emotionally involved with their artists. A solid team of managers, attorneys, and publicists is required by most major labels before they sign an artist. Record companies prefer dealing with someone who is knowledgeable about the music industry.

  3. Buffering and Maintaining a Timetable: A manager's name is the scariest thing in the world for a scam artist. Managers can act as a buffer between artists and businesses interested in their work. This buffer attracts legitimate players, but it also scares away scammers. A manager can handle some tasks and delegate others to the band. It is difficult to craft a master plan while writing songs, designing CD artwork and handling licensing, and reaching out to industry gatekeepers. Maintaining Accountability: How does the label handle the non-materialization of tour support funds? What happens if the licensee does not return the contract, but still uses the artist's songs? Managers are responsible for keeping people honest, and that should be done by someone with authority. Bad Cops vs. Smart Cops in Policing: Managers should act as corrupt cops when it comes to firing. A helpful cop and bad cop role can be swapped between artist and manager on several occasions. Need to increase your promotion budget as part of a re-negotiation? Keep a positive spin on things by letting the manager play smart cop. Art of Listening Assistive: Innovative ideas are often enhanced or removed from the to-do list by running them by a knowledgeable manager before making a decision. In general, managers have different perspectives than artists and are capable of providing different insights and solutions to artists' problems.

  4. Many aspiring music managers still think they can start their careers by recording a three-song demo. Management will only be able to formulate successful strategies and provide meaningful advice if they stay up-to-date with the industry's latest business models, says owned by Lincoln Plowman provides full-service Artist Management and Record Label Services.
