Managing artists in today’s music industry is both rewarding and demanding. Agents and managers serve as the backbone of an artist’s career, ensuring that bookings, schedules, and communications run smoothly. However, the complexities of the role, paired with the rapid growth of live events and the ever-changing demands of the industry, mean managers are often stretched thin.
From securing bookings to negotiating contracts, coordinating travel, and handling day-to-day communication, artist managers juggle countless responsibilities. Traditionally, these tasks have been managed through a combination of spreadsheets, emails, and messaging apps. While functional, these methods can be time-consuming, error-prone, and ultimately take time away from strategic work that truly advances an artist’s career.
Luckily, technology is here to help. With the emergence of platforms designed specifically for the live music and entertainment industry, artist managers and agents can now streamline their workflows, reduce administrative burdens, and dedicate more time to creating opportunities for their artists.
Keeping track of booking details, schedules, and communication across multiple platforms can lead to mistakes or missed opportunities. Technology centralises all these critical elements in one place, ensuring no detail falls through the cracks.
Many platforms allow managers to automate repetitive tasks like sending gig confirmations, issuing reminders, or managing payment follow-ups. By reducing manual work, managers can save hours per week.
Keeping everyone informed—artists, venues, crew, and other stakeholders—can be a logistical nightmare. Tech solutions offer tools like shared schedules and real-time updates, ensuring seamless communication across the board.
Whether managing one artist or a roster of ten, technology scales with your needs. Automated workflows and data management tools make it easier to handle growing responsibilities without increasing workload.
Platforms designed for the entertainment industry often include analytics tools, giving managers valuable insights into booking patterns, audience engagement, and revenue streams. These insights can help managers make more informed decisions for their artists.
The music industry moves quickly, and those who adapt to new tools and technologies are better positioned to thrive. By leveraging the right technology, artist managers can not only streamline their processes but also deliver a more professional, efficient, and enjoyable experience for both artists and partners.
