All About Artist Management
Behind every successful artist is a dedicated team that helps turn creative vision into reality and build a fruitful career. A crucial part of that team is the artist manager—sometimes the business partner, frequently the strategist, often a beacon to share the ups and downs with, and always the consistent support. But what does it actually mean to be an artist manager?
Los Angeles-based The Circuit Group has been representing, managing, and promoting some of the top-billing artists for decades. Joining us at ADE Lab are six of their artist managers: Brett Fischer, Dean Wilson, Harvey Tadman, David Gray, James, Mike Kadziulis, and Noelle Van Nostrand—each responsible for managing artists such as Deadmau5, Aluna & AlunaGeorge, Anabel Englund, Saffron Stone, Chris Lake, and the management company itself, to name a few. Together, the team will pull back the curtain and reveal what goes on behind the scenes, from finding the right artist to connect with, to building a long-term artist career focused on making dreams come true.
Have you always wanted to ask a seasoned artist manager about what it takes to become one—or maybe even what to expect from one? This is your chance to dive in!
Please note: This session is designed as a hands-on workshop with limited capacity to enhance creativity and collaboration. On the day of the event, you'll find the session sign-up forms readily available at the registration desk near the entrance of het Groene Paleis (Nes, 42) on a first come first served basis.
You need a valid ADE Pro, Lab or Lab Day Pass to be able to attend the session!
