About the role
An artist manager coordinates the business and planning around a music career while representing the artist's interests. The panel is testing whether you can set priorities, judge opportunities, align partners and build a relationship based on trust.
How to prepare
- Prepare an example of turning an artist's goals into a practical release or performance plan.
- Review how you compare offers beyond the headline fee, including obligations, costs and reputation.
- Think through how you would coordinate creative, publicity, distribution and booking partners.
- Prepare an example of giving difficult advice while preserving the working relationship.
- Be ready to explain which signals you use to review a campaign and adjust priorities.
Common mistakes
- Focusing on visibility while ignoring costs, rights or long-term positioning.
- Speaking as if the manager should make major decisions without the artist.
- Promising contacts or outcomes without credible evidence.
- Avoiding disagreement instead of giving clear, evidence-based advice.
