Indie Artist Management

Artist Development

Independent artist? Just starting out? Working with a manager who specializes in developing new talent is the first big step toward turning your music from a passion into a full-fledged career. Artist development isn’t just about making great music—it’s about refining your sound, crafting your brand, and building a strategy that gets your work in front of the right audience. From honing your artistry to navigating the industry, I help emerging artists lay the foundation for long-term success.

Strategic Representation

Looking for a distribution deal? Need press outreach, help booking local shows, or a solid social media rollout? As an independent artist, having someone in your corner to handle the business side of things can make all the difference. I help artists secure opportunities, manage industry relationships, and create smart, strategic plans for their releases—so they can focus on what matters most: the music. Whether it's negotiating deals, crafting a launch strategy, or simply being the sounding board for your next big idea, I help make the process smoother and more effective.

Network Development

Need help sourcing talent for your music video? Navigating session splits with a new producer? The right connections can make all the difference in an artist’s career. As an independent artist, building a solid network of producers, writers, videographers, and industry professionals is essential—but it can also feel overwhelming. I help artists develop the relationships they need to bring their creative vision to life, from finding the right collaborators to handling the business side of partnerships. Whether you're assembling your dream team or navigating industry norms, I’ll help you move with confidence.
