Hey everyone!
I hope I am not breaking any etiquette rules by posting here, but I would greatly appreciate your help in answering a few questions I have. Like many others, I am a musician and aspiring recording artist, and I would like to know:
1. Do I really need an agent nowadays to market myself? How large of a following do I need before securing an agent makes sense?
2. Without the help of an agent, how do starting artists seek out their initial gigs? I am relatively new to the business aspect of the craft, so I have yet to develop a substantial gig/venue network.
3. Has anyone used online venue-booking sites with any notable success? I have read a few "testimonials," but I want to hear thoughts from people on this forum.
I appreciate any and all help. Thank you all so much!
Best,
John
