By Eric Gibson


So as a budding artist, the following article has sparked interested for one or a number of reasons. The support team by your side keeps telling you to hire a promotion agent for your music but the one question that keeps going through your mind is why? All, are not all money hungry people who make a living off the earnings of others or movie script clearance sales. It is said that information is power and by the time the last word is read, there should be enough information available to make an informed decision.

What is a music promotion agent? It is an individual responsible for the well being and livelihood of an artist. The booking of shows through communication and negotiations with promoters, liaising of contracts on behalf of an artist for various fixtures such as how much an artist is paid for a show, live performances and so on and so forth.

For an artist on the lookout for an agent there are a few things that they need to look out for so that they are not duped or find themselves in contracts that they cannot get out of nor make any money off. Make sure that the agent you have in mind is registered with an agency, secondly, your agent works with a promoter and not an old friend who owns a bar and lastly, although this one may be hard to spot is that music agents charge lower commissions compared to other professionals in the music industry.

Once an artist has performed or is on tour, the music promotional agent can pat themselves on the back for doing their job. As they have done their part with regards to the artist and all that is left for him to do is their claim to fame.

The responsibilities of a music promotional agent do not end there however. Agents are also responsible for negotiating tour dates that will appease both artists and the record label managing them, sorting out the logistical details behind travelling and arranging contracts with promoters

Music production agents are responsible for negotiating on behalf of the record label and the artist so that everyone is happy or at the very least there is a middle ground in which all parties accept, furthermore, travel arrangements, artists needs and event venue requests and specifics are handled by the music promotional agent.

With that said, most of the music production agent s work is done away from the stage. As they are responsible for the logistics of travelling, the arrangement of venues and contracts as previously stated but beyond that they play a crucial role in making sure that signed artist stays signed by finding a way of keeping executives of the record label the artist is signed to happy without compromising on the creative one's musical integrity. This is not always the case but they do try keep things as fair and even for both parties.

The music production manager is a jack of all trades and master of quite a few, having to juggle not only the demands of the singer but those of management in the record label as well as have their ears to the ground in order to stay ahead of the curve.
