Some Advice for The Indie Artist
| Whether you’re a seasoned professional solo
artist, or rock band, trying to break
through and obtain a good recording contract, or
just accelerate your music career to the next level as
an independent artist making a good living with your
music, engaging the right personal manager, or
music career consultant, is one of the smartest moves toward
success you or your band can take. If you manage to
land the right manager or consultant, they can turn your
work into a very lucrative career, and possibly make you
very famous. Not to overuse a cliche, but
essentially they can accelerate your career "From Summer
Stock to Broadway". A good manager or what
is now more typical in the industry today, an
independent consultant ,can be the difference
between success or failure. It is extremely
important that you choose the right management
consultant, or in most cases, the right
manager-consultant choose you. You
really must have something special for a manager or
professional management consultant with any clout
to give you a shot. |

As
our
Artist's
personal
manager or independent consultant we
are responsible for everything and anything that
enhances the development of our performing artist's
career. From venue selection, simple staging
suggestions, to complex negotiations, to long term
career plans, AMEG lives the artist's career every
day behind the scenes. Our commitment to and
involvement in our artist's career is one hundred
per cent.
As
your personal manager or consultant we act
as the driving force breaking through the barriers
of frustration and difficulty so often encountered in
the entertainment industry by signed and unsigned
independent artists. We totally believe
in and keep fighting for our clients when all
others have given up. We utilize
every resource at our disposal to help
advance our client's music career. It is important
to note however that it is extremely crucial that the
lines of communications between the artist and
consultant be open at all time. The artist must
communicate all leads and information to enable the
management consultant to do his job. It is also
important for the artist to realize the commitment they
have with the manager and totally trust their
input. Playing both sides of the field and seeking
advice from others during the course of an agreement can
only result in ambiguous results and cause problems in
the relationship. Not to mention ultimatly the
artist's career becoming a
disaster.
At
AMEG we believe that the relationship between us as your
personal manager or consultant, and you the
performing artist is just like a
marriage. The only
difference being " We don't screw you, and you don't
screw us" It's extremely important and we
work unending to assure that the elements of
trust,
loyalty, and respect are present at
all times within our relationship. Without
this, it would be a bumpy road that we would just
as-soon not be involved with. As an artist, those
elements must be present always to keep things moving
smoothly and on an upward
trend.

Picture a Wagon
Wheel |
If you
picture a wagon wheel. At the very center is the
axle.
The axle is the performing artist around
which everything revolves. The hub protects and
supports the axle. That is
the your personal AMEG management-consultant. The rim of
the wheel is the artist's career which travels on
what can often be a bumpy, long, winding
road.
Connecting the hub with the rim are many
spokes which give the wheel support in different
directions.
These are the agents, publicists,
attorneys, business managers, and other industry
professionals AMEG works with which support our
artists on the road to
success.

ultimately navigate our artists to realize their
career
objectives. | |

industry practices, standards, and regulations. We
are always alert to the constant changes affecting
the entertainment industry. Only with
this experience and up to date knowledge can AMEG
