Music Promoter As Your Selected Career

By Kevin Cox


What kind of music do you like? Do you prefer listening to classical piece from Beethoven to Chopin? Do you also head bang with the songs of Nirvana and Greenday? Or perhaps you like reminiscing and feel so in love and heartbroken at the same with the song of Taylor Swift. Everyone has different preference when it comes to music and with their preference, they grow to love it even more. For that reason, they want to employ to that industry and if eve you also want too, then you can try that path by being a concert promoter.

Once individuals find some bands that are so addicting, they cannot stop themselves on becoming their fans. And for sure before they sleep at night, others would tend to daydream and imagine themselves working alongside their favorite rock stars like Avril Lavigne, Hayley Williams or perhaps Billie Joe Armstrong. Seeing their live performances is already a blessing to their eyes and ears. But have you wondered as well on how their shows were made?

Perhaps you have heard about music promoters before or maybe you never did. Most people think that concerts were being set up by the companies or label coming from the artists or perhaps the band itself. But actually, music promoters are the one who do those tasks. That person handles the promotions, negotiates with the agents or the band, books the venue, etc.

In other words, they are the one who made those concerts in public so that fans and non-fans will attend. With that, a collaboration and cooperation from the agents, bands and venues for concerts are needed so it would be successful. Otherwise they would be blamed if it all goes wrong. This career might be what you were looking for and you might get the chance to work with those artists you idolized.

You have two paths on becoming a promoter. First one, you may start your career by working with some concert promotion companies. These companies are established and others might manage big-name or famous artists that will be going to have a show.

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.

Choosing the Indie Promoting path may sometimes be hard especially when the artist you work with is not making some money with his or her show. It is important to know the value of money and good business background and marketing skills are advantage. Nevertheless, you certainly have the freedom to choose who you want to work with.

Are you interested with this career? This might be a tough choice for you. Nevertheless, this opportunity is really great especially for music-lovers.
