On the thread of artist management, and i wasn't following too closeley so
forgive any repetition, check out the book "The Business of Artists
Management" by Frascogna and Hetherington. It was the core of the syllabus
of a music artist management course i took at sfsu that was taught by a
respectable entertainment lawyer and artist manager in the bay area.
While the book was written for would-be managers, it is highly recommended to
any artist considering obtaining management. It breaks down all aspects of
the artist-management relationship and even explains some of the more
complicated issues such as contracts and publishing rights.
The professors mantra is worth repeating: keep in mind that what is most
important when obtaining a manager is whether or not you like the person!
And as always, if youre approached by "managers," remember that if it sounds
to good to be true, it probably is...
