Did
you ever wonder what takes to get a manager (a “real” manager)
interested in you? Well, The Composers Corner asked over
a dozen top managers what they look for. We found their “Wish
List” to be quite long. Of course, they admitted that most
acts don’t have every characteristic or quality listed. But,
they also said that they are more likely to go with those
artists who meet most of their requirements.
