Where can I find an agent to help my music career go further?
Question by DreamSitar: Where can I find an agent to help my music career go further?
I’ve been a musician for my whole life, I’d had great success with every single show I did, and had big turnouts, many of whom I have no clue who they are, so I know there’s many people who just want to come and see a performer like me play. So I know there’s a market. I have done so much to promote myself, so much to publish my music, I’d not made any money except with my live performances, and even then, it was on the paltry side of the money making scheme, either other bands robbed the door charges before I got to it, or I never got paid. I have been told that if I had someone representing me and had them hunt down gigs, I could make a ton of money in a short amount of time with the skills I have, and that I don’t know what I’m doing, that I need to find someone who can handle the business end of everything, and someone else to handle the promotions… So I need an agent and a promoter. The music I do seems to sell it’s self, but because I’m clueless as to how to really get the job done on the business end, I’m stunted professionally. I’ve worked my whole life on music and nothing but music, so I’m really good at music, but I don’t understand methods of how to sell it, I’d tried selling cds online, never happened once, I tried finding bandmates to get my projects off the ground, I keep finding people who’re space cadets, barely professional, and barely able to play music, highly amateur. As a soloist, I’d made tons of money just from being in the flow and having people invite me to shows, but now no one’s inviting me to shows, I’d moved and lost contact with many people, so now I see it’s a vital necessity to create my own flow, and the best way to do it is to have someone represent for me, and help me find gigs and recording contracts, business deals, selling and distributing cds, I have no clue how to do that. Someone help!
