Management for artists who intend to last.

An independent company built around a small number of artists, the long arc of a career, and the work that happens between releases.

Approach

What management means here

Three commitments that decide everything else: who gets taken on, what the work actually consists of, and who holds the final say.

Fewer artists

A roster stays small so attention never has to be rationed. The size of it is a decision, not a stage on the way to something bigger.

Deeper work

Most of management is unglamorous. Schedules, budgets, follow-ups, the second and third draft of a plan. That work is the job, not the overhead.

Independence kept

Artists keep their rights and the final call on their own career. Management advises, argues its case, and then executes the decision that was made.

Services

What we do

Management is the practice. Label services sit alongside it, for artists running their own imprint and for labels that need the operations without the overhead.

Artist management

The primary offer. One artist, one plan, and a single person accountable for it.

  • Career strategy

    Where the next two years go, and what gets said no to.

  • Release planning

    Dates, assets, priorities, and the schedule everything else hangs off.

  • Touring and live

    Routing, agents, promoters, and what a run has to earn to be worth doing.

  • Brand and partnerships

    Partners who make sense for the music, on terms the artist can live with.

  • Team building

    Finding the agent, the publicist and the label, then keeping them pointed the same way.

Label services

Offered second, and on its own terms. The operating layer under a release, for the artists and labels that want to keep running it themselves.

  • Release operations

    Delivery, metadata, artwork specs, and the deadlines behind a release date.

  • Distribution setup

    Getting a catalog into the right pipes, with reporting that can be read.

  • Catalog and rights

    Knowing what is owned, where it sits, and what it earns.

  • Label strategy

    What a label signs, how often it releases, and what it stops doing.

An empty auditorium of wooden seats facing a lit but bare stage.

A room fills because someone spent two years making sure it would.

The live room is the measure. Everything upstream of a full one, the releases, the timing, the partners, the patience, is management doing its job.

Who you work with

One point of contact

Indie Mgmt is small on purpose. The person who takes the first call is the person who does the work, and there is no account layer sitting between an artist and the decisions being made about their career.

When something needs a specialist, one is brought in and we stay accountable for the outcome. Nothing gets handed off and forgotten.

A small roster by design

Applications are read by the person who would work with you. Send music, a sentence on where you are now, and where you want to be in three years. If it is not a fit, you will hear that, and you will hear it quickly.
