Manager Mike Smith is not only a good friend of Tom Jackson’s – he’s the guy who understands the Catch 22 of needing a manager to succeed, but also needing to succeed before you can find a good manager!
With over 30 years of experience in the music industry, Mike knows the statistics about artists and managers. Because a manager is generally paid a percentage of artist profits, an artist’s income needs to reach about half a million dollars a year before a manager can feasibly be paid enough for their time.
And although there are a few lucky artists out there who will find a good manager to develop them until they reach that stage, there are countless others who won’t have that opportunity.
But Mike Smith doesn’t just understand the problem; he also has a solution. Here’s what he says about it:
I pondered this problem for many years as numerous artists asked me to help launch and grow their career. I simply did not have the time to help. My solution was to develop an online training course to teach everything that I know about artist development. I even asked some of my industry friends to share their knowledge and experience for the course.
The result is a video course anyone can take that outlines the steps to becoming a good manager. As Mike says, it’s “everything, A to Z, about artist management and development.”
Tom wants you to know he believes in Mike and this program! To start you out, all you need to do is follow this link and give Mike your email address. He’ll send you a copy of of his own artist management agreement (a gift to you), and you can hear what he has to say about learning the skills of artist management.
No obligation on your part – that’s because Mike just wants you to hear what he has to say. He has a passion for helping artists. He wants them to succeed.
In case you’re wondering about Mike’s experience, he’s been manager to artists like Restless Heart, Jaci Velasquez, David Frizzell, Salvador, and many more. Tom highly recommends you take advantage of Mike’s expertise!
