The responsibility of the talent manager is to oversee the day-to-day business affairs and aquire opportunities for an artist; advise and counsel talent concerning professional matters, long-term plans and personal decisions which may affect their career.
WHAT IS A TALENT BROKER
A broker is an industry professional, a selected individual person or company who arranges transactions between a buyer and a seller for a commission when the deal is executed. A broker who also acts as a seller or as a buyer becomes a principal party to the deal. Unlike a Manager or Agent, a broker works on specific projects, or a group of projects for an individual artist, band or business group. Music brokers do not legally cross any legal boundaries of a management or booking/talent agent representation contract.
