What is a music manager? What do they do? And why do they play such an increasingly crucial role in the modern music industry?

Written by the Music Managers Forum, The Essential Guide to Music Management is aimed at all levels of music manager, and takes the reader on a journey from grassroots to international success – offering clear practical advice on getting started, developing a viable management company, putting together a team, and building the partnerships that will enable you to navigate an ever-changing global business.

Taking a step-by-step trajectory, the book covers both the core areas where artists and their managers earn a living (live music, recorded music, music publishing, merchandise, brands) as well as casting an eye to the future to explore different structures, strategies and approaches to management.
