If you really want to make it big in the music industry, your manager is your ticket there. I discussed this in detail last post but I left out a few things. First of all, you should start playing at venues and clubs which match your type of music. If you are a rocker, play at rock venues and if you do emo, play at those venues. Sounds simple but so many people waste time trying to play at these venues which will ultimately do them no good. The point of playing at the right clubs is so that you can become famous LOCALLY first. Once you start to have a regular time at these clubs where you play every week, you will have regular fans which show up to watch you play. At this time you become valuable to a music manager. When you have reached this point you are showing your music manager that you have talent and that you have a product which people will support and fall in love with. Additionally it is not uncommon for mangers to scan these sorts of club in an attempt to find new talent. If you are lucky and very talented, a manager might approach you. Additionally you can find out who other people playing at these clubs are represented by. This is a great way to get leads and also to find out how satisfied the other bands are with their management. Testimonials are a great way to figure out the quality of a manager because they are all salesmen and tend to embellish their successes.
