Band Management - Manager's Point of View

New Arrival

Created 11 years ago in Business / Getting Started

I've been working in the music industry at the Platinum level since 1992 and have worked with, observed, and learned from more than 200 of the best (and worst) managers in the business. I can help you apply their successful artist management methodologies, no matter what level your client is in the industry. I'm skilled in artist development and can help you decide the next move for your clients, or help you brainstorm marketing ideas from majors to baby bands. I excel at touring matters and can also advise you on the day-to-day or the off-the-wall "this can only happen in the live entertainment industry" stuff that comes up when you least need it to--including security procedures for you and your team, or delicate matters such as what to do when you have a drug or alcohol-addicted client or band member.

Need advice on handling your difficult band member? Need rock star marketing and promo ideas on a low-dough budget for your show, event, or project? I'm the Founder and Publisher of MusicBizAdvice.com, and have worked at the Platinum level in the music industry in booking and concert promotion since 1992, including for two Pollstar Award winning companies and a multiple Billboard Touring Award winning company. I've advised artists and their teams from the Platinum to local level. Prior to that I managed bands and was a singer-songwriter trying to avoid vocal problems and stage fright. My expertise is in booking and touring matters, artist management, marketing, concert promotion, and live events, and I've been quoted on Forbes.com and others. For further information, check out my LinkedIn profile under randireedmusicbizadvice at http://www.linkedin.com/in/randireedmusicbizadvice or my bio at RandiReed.com. I look forward to talking with you! "If it can happen to a touring musician I've seen it or been there, and I can show you how to avoid problems before they happen to YOU. If you're a musician, I can teach you how to brand your band and give you solid ways to market your shows like a rock star, even when your marketing budget is at a shoestring level. If you're a manager who's not sure what to do next, I can brainstorm ideas with you or help you decide the best move for your client when you're at your wits' end."--RR
