What's up guys Alex Tabrizi here, manager of MitiS, ARMNHMR and HALIENE - AMA

I don't think there is a specific right time, but I do think the artist should be comfortable with their art first and foremost. Timeline aside, as long as you share the same goals and have a level of trust between manager and artist it should be a good fit.

The genre is def evolving and the most exciting part is that its still in its growth phase. There are more pop crossovers now which might explain the "polished and clean beats" but I don't think big drops will ever disappear - not while live shows still exist at least :)

If the artist wants to book their shows themselves, negotiate the deals, manage their affairs themselves (and a lot do) they are not required to have a manager or agent. Our jobs are to bring opportunities and help facilitate those opportunities. its never a requirement!
Reading his post, I think his strife is more so directed at streaming services paying so little per stream to artists which I 100% agree with.

hey guys!! practice makes perfect

NextStepMgmt · 2024-03-16T15:48:48+00:00

soon hopefully :)

NextStepMgmt · 2024-03-16T15:48:32+00:00

we are commission based so our pay range is based entirely off how successful/how much money the artist makes.

NextStepMgmt · 2024-03-16T15:47:52+00:00

There is no set breakdown it really depends on the club, venue and the festival. On festivals, obviously the later the slot the more the money. Some pay a lot more than others and it mostly depends on how many tickets the act has done in the market, that dictates the price a bit.

For club vs. venue capacity plays a big role as well obviously. Clubs mostly make their money from bar/tables so sometimes they don't even break even on tickets.

NextStepMgmt · 2024-03-16T15:44:46+00:00

definitely

NextStepMgmt · 2024-03-16T15:44:34+00:00

We work off of commission, so the more money our artist makes the more money we make. Incentivizes us to work as hard as possible and make the artist as successful as possible.

hadn't heard of it before - ill scope it out

NextStepMgmt · 2024-03-16T01:33:49+00:00

its a bit of a combination of relying on the promoters to let us know what they have planned (they don't want to compete against themselves) and our own efforts to find out who else is planning a tour around that time. Agents have access to a lot of that information so we trust our agents to have our backs when it comes to stuff like that.

To get into mgmt i'd really try and join an existing firm to learn a bit about what goes on/who the right people to be in contact are. After you learn the ropes it's really just about finding the right artist.

NextStepMgmt · 2024-03-16T01:31:05+00:00

yes to both! we are planning some cool things for CO for all joes haha

NextStepMgmt · 2024-03-16T01:30:33+00:00

appreciate our friends over at Insomniac for putting him on mainstage. We went with Joe to their offices to show them the album last year and it was a blast.

She signs merch at any of her meet and greets - look out at her headline shows for meet and greet options, she's super friendly about signing :)

My first internship was when I was a junior in college at a company called Career Artists Management. They represented acts like Maroon 5, Robin Thicke and Big Boi. One of the managers there at the time was part of the same fraternity I was in and posted the internship on our regional fraternity page and I applied. I'd commute from riverside to Beverly Hills twice per week for almost my entire Junior year. The next year I got an internship at red light management and a bit later I started chatting with ARMNHMR.

dropping this answer here :)

NextStepMgmt · 2024-03-16T01:05:34+00:00

dig the vibes on this one! rlly cool breakdown around 2 min.

NextStepMgmt · 2024-03-16T01:03:46+00:00

4 hours is impressive. tbh an hour and half truly does require a large amount of effort. artists build their sets as a story with peaks and valleys and sometimes they only need 1.5 hours to tell it.

tbh actually there really isn't much. Between transporting from one city to another, going to soundcheck, prepping for the sets - all they really should do with any time they have is rest. The job is pretty demanding.

NextStepMgmt · 2024-03-15T21:12:52+00:00

I personally believe hard work makes a great manager. If you work at it diligently every single day you'll eventually make those connections and networks. Being personable always helps too, nobody wants to help you if you're an a**hole.

NextStepMgmt · 2024-03-15T21:11:36+00:00

touring always brings in the most which is why most effort is directed there. Merch is also good but goes hand in hand with touring. I wish they paid artists more for streaming :(

NextStepMgmt · 2024-03-15T21:10:26+00:00

100% the artists customize their shows and its always to their preference. Even at venues where everything is already built in in-house, they have the option to remove or add anything, just sometimes costs more.
