The Newest Way to Develop and Control Your Own Career!
Every artist ultimately wants to have control over their own career. Let's face it - most of us are control freaks to begin with! But as artists, we also ultimately have to admit that we can't do it all. The problem is, it's a scary world out there in the land of "The Music Business" and while words like "manager", "agent", and "label" might sound glamorous and professional, they can also be intimidating words and sometimes even antagonistic to what we want for our careers. Thus we find ourselves part of the ever-growing demographic of independent artists who need some assistance, but don't want (or can't afford) full time staff.
I'm Shawn Thomas. Over the past few years, I have received phone calls and emails with specific questions about how to begin work as an independent artist. I hardly know all the answers - but I do know the answers to some questions because I've had to find them out for myself. I'd like to share what I know with you, and what I don't know maybe we can find out together.
How to Get Started:
The most important thing for you to do at this point is read the FAQ page on this site. After you read about the services that are available, feel free to contact me
and we can begin exploring ways for us to work together. The first question I
will ask you is, "Have you read the FAQs?". Your answer will need to be "yes" before we can continue.
The unique and exciting part about this site is that everything is A' la carte! In other words - no monthly dues or fees, and no percentages or royalties. I will not be "representing" anyone as an agent, manager, or label, and no one will be "hiring" me on a commission or charge. Artists will simply select a one-time service of their choice and only pay for that service one time. If an artist wants more than one service or wants to repeat a service, they're welcome to design their own support program according to their needs.
