Choosing Music Promoter As Your 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.

For sure you had dreamt before on collaborating with our favorite singers. You perhaps had wished you could have some opportunities to collaborate with them. However, your talent is incomparable to them since you cannot sing nor dance as well. Unfortunately, the least you can do is just watch them afar on stage while performing a concert. And speaking of that, you might probably wonder on how concerts were made.

Perhaps you thought those agents did those jobs. Or perhaps the musicians are making the efforts and bossing everyone around. But no. Mostly, all those tasks come from music promoters. From the name itself, those people do the task of promoting, negotiating, booking and several others.

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.

In becoming one, there are two selections of path that you would choose. The first path is working established promotion companies. Working here will give you chance to work with the big names in music industries.

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.

The other path is going to Indie Promoting. This one is very simple as all you need is finding some local band who wants to make a name, negotiating with them and then booking their first show. You are the boss in that profession. However, you also have lots of responsibilities.

Though you got the freedom, this path may be tough too. You certainly must have good background in business and marketing so your negotiations will go well plus you must be organized too. Remember that your money might be put into risk here. You too need to choose the right band too because you may end up promoting an artist that everyone hates.

Those who are so passionate with music may love this. Companies or Indie, strategies are needed. Nonetheless, their love of music will surely remain.
