The Los Angeles Music Magazine Star Management

You have spent your whole life dreaming about a rewarding career as a professional musician and artist. Choosing the right manager is the most important step you will ever take. A great manager can make your dreams come true. They can help book and promote your shows, handle your publicity, secure record contracts, and above all, a great manager can make you money. A bad manager won’t.

So, why should you let us manage your career?

A good friend once told me, “it ain’t about what you know; it’s about who you know.” We know most of the record companies in the area and the deals they offer. Some are perfect for what you want to do, but a lot of them aren’t. The record contract you get depends on what you want from the record company and what you’re willing give up and do on your own. We’ll help you figure out what you want in a record contract and we’ll make sure that you get it.

Unfortunately, you can’t survive on a record contract alone. You have to play to make a living. We’ll make sure you play often and at the right venues. Venue bookers are only looking for one type of performer, the one that will bring in a crowd. We’ll make sure you bring in a crowd by promoting your shows. We’ll make sure your dates get listed in local magazines and newspapers. We believe the more people know about you, the more they’ll want to buy your records and see you perform.

Our job is simply making sure you get paid, because the bottom line is we only make money when you make money. Take a step in the right direction and began living the life you’ve always dreamt of... Read over the contract below, and let us work with you before you sign. If it sounds good to you, email us, and we will move forward to discuss your dreams and the future of your career. It all begins with an email to lamusicmagazine@lamusicmagazine.com.

Sincerely,

Johnathan Leonard Mills

Chief Executive Editor
