Daily Ideas & artist management

About the live session

In this highly interactive session, Elijah (Butterz), joins us on the Virtuoso Stage to give a live workshop on management, using his popular ‘Daily Ideas’ as seen on Instagram. Attendees are invited to prepare their own questions about the music industry ahead of the session and bring them to the discussion. Elijah manages Flava D, who we're pleased to announce will be joining the session as a special guest.

BONUS: All attendees can send track demos to Flava D for feedback after the session.

Despite occupying one of the most important roles in the industry, there is often a lack of understanding around what managers do and how they can help your career.

As the main interface between an artist and everybody else, an artist manager’s role can include creative direction and advice, business & legal affairs, personal support, tour management and much more. This session will answer questions such as:

  • What sort of support and management do I need?
  • How can I find and pitch to a manager?
  • How to know if management is working for me?
  • How do managers get paid?

This is an interactive session limited to 40 front row spaces. Register now to guarantee your place. Places on the front row are free for members with a £5 refundable deposit and £10 for non-members. Note: to attend this session you must use the Chrome or Safari browser, using a laptop, tablet or smartphone, with a working microphone and webcam.
