Music Promoter As Your Selected Career

By Kevin Cox


Many individuals cannot live without music in their life. In fact, it has been very crucial to them that without it, their day will not be complete. Others love to listen to classical piece of Chopin whenever they are studying for their exams. Some like listening to rock genres if they are alone in their house and just want to lift up their moods. Others cannot even leave their houses when their headset or earphones are missing. Others might find it impossible to make it as their living but no worries with that. They can walk on 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?

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.

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.

It might take you longer to climb on the ladder and become the lead promoter. But hardships also come in small things too like distributing flyers and posters to civilians. Though you might work with artists you do not like. Nevertheless, your finance will also be safe as the company usually will provide it.

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.

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