Finding the Right Manager Can Be the Key to Songwriting Success

Finding the right manager to guide your songwriting career can be an important step on the way to becoming a hit songwriter.

A manager can open doors for you in the music industry, pitch your songs, and be your liason to record companies & recording artists.

Finding the right manager to guide your songwriting career can be challenging, as each songwriter can need a different type of manager.

For example, songwriters who are also poets and authors might benefit from having a literary agent.

Songwriters who are also singers and performers might benefit more from having a booking agent to find them work and paying gigs, instead of, for example, guiding or managing their careers.

Talent agents are a more general type of management, who would manage all types of talent, including actors and dancers.

A common choice for songwriters and lyric-writers is a manager who can look after the key business aspects of your songwriting career, such as overseeing contracts, publishing rights, copyrights and all of your songwriting royalties and payments.

That's why finding the right manager is often the first key step to a successful songwriting career, and worth the time and effort it takes to find the right one.
