Band Management and Promotions/Looking for an interview

Advertisement


Question
Im currently enrolled in a Music Business class, we were assigned different categories for each person to complete our final exam research paper. My category was Music Management. I need to have an in-depth interview for this paper, but in all honesty, i have NO clue where to start looking for potential managers to interview... it seems as though their is little to know information on them online, so i thought maybe you would know.

I live in the South Florida area, so anything down here would be GREAT but anyone anywhere really, especially on the East Caost would be awesome! I would greatly appreciate it if you could give me some information on managers that i might be able to contact.

Thanks,
Mike

P.S. the genre doesn't matter at all, its just for an interview. Also, if you happen to know WHO are some of the bigger manager based in south florida, that would also be very valuable information. Thanks again.

Answer
Hi Michael,

Unfortunately I don't know the South Florida market well. However, here is a link to more artist managers than you can throw a stick at. Hopefully one of them will grant you an interview. There are listings in Florida as well, in case you want to do a face-to-face interview. Have fun in Music Business, it was one of my favorite classes!

I can't answer legal questions, other than copyright and publishing. Don't fret if you feel like it's a "dumb" question.
