Liberian Blogger Kerkula Blama
Liberian Blogger Kerkula Blama has listed out an important procedure that every artist needs to take into consideration on the journey to prominence.
“Artists, it’s crucial to cultivate and maintain YOUR OWN RELATIONSHIPS.
When managers and labels change, and they will, you don’t want that to mean the end of valuable connections. Owning your network ensures your relationships stay with you, no matter what happens”, he stated.
“So, how do you accomplish this as an artist’s?
Start by building relationships BEFORE working with a manager or signing with a label. Remember that building and maintaining relationships takes time and effort. Be patient and genuine in your interactions, and focus on creating synergy.
Once a manager enters the fold or if you sign on with a label partner, ensure your immediate team informs you of significant new connections — writers, editors, curators, promoters, agencies, etc.
When introduced directly, exchange contact information. Ask to be BCCed on emails.
While working with representation, allow them to manage and quarterback your relationships. However, don’t be a ghost. If you have a number or email, check in occasionally if you value a particular relationship. Offer thank yous for continued support, inquire what’s new, etc.”
It’s important to note that In this journey, you, the artist, are the constant. Managers and labels may change, but a network you own can remain FOREVER.” He concluded.
