Selecting Music Promoter As Your Career

By Kevin Cox


Every human being has their own style of music. Some may like classical. Others may be into pop and jazz. While other people jam with rock. Despite the different genre of songs, you cannot argue that music usually connects people. As a result, some aspire to become a singer to express their own love of music. However, not all people are talented enough to sing and achieve the perfect pitch. No worries with that because they can still walk to that musical path by being a concert promoter.

Whenever you enter a fandom, sometimes you could not stop yourself on liking your favorite artists, singers, bands and several others. It can sometimes be hard for you to let them go. Nevertheless, you still can cultivate your love for those artists and make it as part of your living. For sure, you had attended some concerts of your favorite bands before and got fired up from the beginning to the end. But have you wondered how those events were made?

You think the agents are those people behind on setting up those shows? You think that the bands are the one doing all promotions so people can watch them. Well partly they did some tasks but those jobs are mainly done by music promoters. Perhaps you did not hear that profession always. Nevertheless, those individuals are in charge of promoting, booking, negotiating and many more.

Obviously, they made the concerts of those bands known to the public. That way, those fans as well as non-fans will come to the show. In addition, they also need some collaborations and cooperation with the agents and the venues that would be used for the live performance. This career is certainly perfect for those individuals who want to dive in music career. Nevertheless, it does not require you some college degree too.

In becoming one, there are two selections of path that you would choose. The first path is working established promotion companies. Working here will give you chance to work with the big names in music industries.

However, it might still take some time to become a lead promoter as you have to start from the basics like giving out flyers to random people. Other than that, you also might be working with some artists you cannot tolerate with. But once you reached the top, more artists will surely come to you to do a promotion.

Indie Promoting is the second choice you may select. This path is really simple since you just have to look for a local band and arrange their show for them. Aside from that, you now become the leader on that project on your first day.

Despite the freedom you get, it comes with many responsibilities too. Unlike being affiliated with established companies, your money will be put into risks if ever you made some wrong decisions. And if the band you had been promoting turns into a flop, your investment will surely be lost. Be sure to have some knowledge about marketing and business and also good social skills to survive on this.

Your love for songs and melodies will certainly not perish in this career. In fact, no need for college degree to attain this. So are you ready to become one now?
