Do Music Artists Need Managers in 2024?

[@okaydrod]

i’ve taught my wife to do all the management/personal assistant stuff over the past year, and she gets 100% of my royalties 😉 sounds like a pretty good deal to me

[@frdiforartists]

Keep it in the fam

[@ConnorPrice_]

can relate 🫡

[@alexandracimino8776]

love that so much

[@solomonftg]

Videos are insane, book was worth every dollar, it’s crazy you’re giving this game and you’ve already made it. Thank you and please keep doing these + day in the life vids

[@TangoJordan]

I've been doing this for years, and I was self-managed. I did hire a manager, but he's my best friend and my business partner, which is exactly what you said. So this is amazing content, and you definitely do quality information.

[@giano6343]

haha, im here starting as a music manager in 2024. lets rock

[@omg.Daviid]

I think Nic is very self aware 💯

[@Heyim_Skye]

The book is 100% worth the buy, loved the self read audio version too. Listened to it like 3 times while reading along. Can't believe some one so successful in the industry is taking the time to do so much teaching. Awesome stuff

[@caspaclark]

Great minds think alike. I greatly appreciate the inspiration and knowledge per usual ❤

[@AnneSimoni]

What do I want to be when I grow up as an artist? I want to be just like you Nic D! 😊I don’t want to play gigs and tour or be rich and famous! I want to be able to grow my catalog, make a living as an artist and spend time with my family as well. My biggest challenge is finding my niche as a Brazilian artist living in the USA and creating content around it without sounding too desperate! 😂 I’ve been listening to your podcast, and watching your videos and I appreciate your humbleness and willingness to share all the knowledge you acquired during your journey as an independent artist! I’ll let you know when I get there! In the meantime, thanks for all the good stuff your are sharing! ❤

[@DamianLuber]

Cool Anne, if you need guitar, male vocals.. write me I can record it at my home. Mix/Mastering also I can do. Best wishes from Poland.

[@AnneSimoni]

Thanks!

[@frgramz027]

I just wanted to copy and paste your comment. Same here as a Brazilian living in the UK making music in Portuguese.

[@nickhoweuk]

where wouls you recommend sourcing a PA or VA?

[@TheSaintLuke]

Just wanted to say I love your content and appreciate the time you take to extend a hand back to help the upcoming artists

[@JackMajor]

Just been blasting some Nic D tunes on Spotify and now I see him here for my own aspirations, SUBBED!!!

[@jackrighteous]

You rock! So glad the dude followed called you out so I found you and your information. So much more aligned towards AI music creators like myself.

[@frdiforartists]

Thanks for the love 🤝

[@officialWWM]

I think you are more of a businessman than a musician 🤔 I wish I was more like you. I suffer bad adhd. That’s great for hyper focus when it comes to music making but terrible for taking care of business. I forget too many important things and lose focus. I need help with the whole social media thing and someone to push me.

[@pauliiluap]

appreciate you dropping knowledge. been following your bread crumbs for a while and never been so confident in getting it right this time.

[@Child9Music]

Thanks for your Honesty Nic.

[@itsMakeMusic]

Nic Ds book is amazing. eveyrone who watches this video should get it

[@pikachu-hs5zz]

a powerful connected manager in the industry can change a lot of things and bring funding

[@DarkshadeMusic]

Mate, you clearly didn't watch the video. If you did you'll know he didn't rule out a well connected manager. That manager would clearly be justifying his wages and that's absolutely spot on!

[@pikachu-hs5zz]

@@DarkshadeMusic i did watch the video just chose to comment that

[@frdiforartists]

All depends on your goals

[@cblanchhiphop]

Love your down to earth and honest takes - cool to see you able to live life the way you want!

[@frdiforartists]

Cheers bro 🤝

[@josephfatai]

Grateful for sharing your thoughts and insight. Super helpful for me. Thank you!❤🙏

[@mikkomattila7444]

Thanks Nic. Kind reminder: Water your house plants :)

[@nickhoweuk]

Do you do paid consultation?

[@johnnye_music]

Thanks so much for such gems, ive bench watched all your vids, i love how authentic and down to earth your videos are! As a new Christian artist this has helped a ton!

[@lumberjacker9]

Thank-you for making these videos Nic

[@dylansmith8660]

Thanks for the insight Nic 🙌 do you think you would ever get into country wide touring?

[@Moises-Junior]

Lets talk about it!

[@jpk.mp3]

he’s back

[@tituscodymusic]

yeah more days in the life would be cool!

[@phildzr57]

You might have covered this before but who do you use as a distribution company? Been weighing pros and cons but I am aiming to follow your path of releases and content and curious as to what works best for you.

[@charlottewaltz4170]

love u and ur content nic! so helpful! plz show that plant in the corner some love tho😭

[@daniel.v.artist]

Hey Nic love your content! So much value🙏🏼 Question could you make a video on how to get actually good at recording songs like you do. Maybe tips and tricks? I know it’s about doing the thing everyday but maybe you have other tips that we could benefit from. Thanks 😁

[@callmetr3vv]

What microphone do you use for these videos they are awesome and i love that lil mic quality sounds so good! Love everything you do Nic!

[@JakeLlaguno]

Thanks for always sharing your thoughts Nic!

[@jeffisenberger999]

Great stuff as always 🔥 can you touch on how to deal with negative comments ? Been getting lot of hate on TikTok which won’t deter me, but definitely isn’t a great feeling

[@allenhayesmusic]

So damn true!

[@ParrisCrockett]

as always thank you sir !

[@torinancemusic]

I don’t want to travel and play a ton of shows for months on end. I love this.

[@officialWWM]

That’s the fun part of making music!

[@torinancemusic]

@@officialWWM nah for me it’s the songwriting.

[@ViepsaArora]

[@Austen_Tv]

thank u foir this bro! super helpfull!

[@ButterflyLullabyLtd]

Great advice Nick. 👍😊 Hope I can get your book on Audio❓ Send me a link. I love to learn whilst having to do Boring Jobs in the kitchen etc. So excited about your true story of success. Your very talented and have a great business mind. 🤯🧠 Perfection is overrated, so I love your mindset. You have proved anything is possible. 👍♥️💭 Living with two singer/songwriters/musicians 🇬🇧 I feel they are wasting their talents. Songs gathering dust. 🎶🎵 If only I could sing and play an instrument, lol 😭🤣 Maybe, one day I will get to collaborate with other artists to make education kinder and support Artists of the future. Imagine a Home Educated young person being allowed to learn from you and earn money like you. I would love to see that happen. ♥️

[@ynghendricks8168]

Get the link from the description and yes there is an audio included!

[@AlexAmarMusic]

Great stuff, thank you 🙏

[@hoxe]

whats the mic u use on ur shirt? if anyone knows. blessings

[@540gaming]

I have a bunch of demos in the works. I used splice to create them and have lyrics written. I am struggling to find a producer to bring them to live, they are rough demos with no beats or bass. Can’t seem to find a producer that o vibe with on fiver, where can I find one?

[@frdiforartists]

I think Matty Beats would be perfect for you

[@skipdamanskipdaman7735]

Wat camera do u use for your music content u post on tik tok

[@lukasninety]

thank you

[@sethbenjaminmsc]

If I wanted a manager I’d work at Taco Bell.

[@frdiforartists]

lol facts

[@LedgerLiner]

[@notsogood9449]

Aye Nic... how much money do you think you've saved by not having to pay a manager 20% of your earnings?

[@russellmenez]

Need a hardcover of your book

if you don't have anything to manage then no

Most artists don’t

So sad that I cannot buy the book with my Russian card. Can someone sell me the pdf for crypto or something?
