Artists often believe they’re a manager away from success. And some might be. But for most, if you’re chasing management, you're potentially putting yourself in a vulnerable position. Just like with a label, you want management to pursue you. djbooth.net/features/2019-04…

Ever wondered what goes into an artist-management contract? I consulted with an entertainment attorney to break down the essentials clause by clause. While no two agreements are the same, this thread covers the most common boilerplate language. 📄 🧵

Send me the contract. I’ll happily review it and break it down on the timeline.

In 2020, I published a year-long series on @DJBooth digging into Frank's catalog, penned by the incredible @DonnaCWrites and illustrated by incomparable @thejakefranssen. If you love Frank like we love Frank, lose yourself in #NostalgiaFOREVER.

I’ve been talking and writing about SCAMS in the music biz for years, which is why when my friend Cam James (@camjames_irl) reached out and asked me to guest on his latest deep dive for #TheBeatDown, I happily said yes.

Reading @DonnaCWrites and @Yoh31 articles on @DJBooth got me through all of my college lectures.
Was so amazing getting to talk with her about our favorite artist and the state of journalism!

Every week, artists, new and old, ask me the same questions:
“How do I stand out?”
“What can I do differently?”
Let’s look at Nigerian Canadian recording artist TOBi (@sincerelyTOBi) and his innovative approach to building a dedicated fan community for answers.

Do you ever question why artists with tens of millions of monthly listeners and millions of social media followers often cancel tour dates?
Simple: Listeners (often passive and via playlists) and followers are only *sometimes* fans.
Fandom requires spend & undivided attention.
