Why I Choose To Study Music Management


What inspired me to enter this field was one of my idols. Her name is Demi Lovato and she has a successful career. The first time I encountered Demi Lovato was when the movie Camp Rock came out on Disney Channel. When I watched the movie and heard her voice I was blown away, it was beyond amazing to me. To me she is true talent.

Encountering Demi Lovato has affected me in ways you can’t describe. She has gone through so many personal struggles, but she pulled through it while getting help and got back to recording and writing. She is a true idol because of that. She has taught me to stay strong and be your self and don’t let anything stop you from reaching your dreams. While having the support of her friends and family she wrote a song called “Skyscraper” which talks about how to survive through what she did. Two of my favorite lines in the song are “Go on and try to tear me down, I will be rising from the ground like a skyscraper” as well as “All my windows still are broken but I’m standing on my feet” because they both are talking about bringing someone down, but you need to stand on your feet and not let it break you.

Overall the reason I chose to enter this field is to help others find their idols and have them help others like Demi did with me and everyone else that has her as an idol. Everyone in their life deserves someone to look up to and help them through the hard times, even if it is just through music.

Writing has a big part in Artist Management. To me you’ll need it because, you have to be able to write out a contract, write out promotions, book tours, help with licensing, and contracts. According to Mitchell Peters of Billboard Magazine, writing is a central part of negotiation; you must be able to write negotiations about ticket prices, venues, and touring in general (2011). You also need to be able to plan thing out and make sure it is right.  Overall writing is a big part in Artist Management to help you make your dream career happen.

Love, Peace, Music!
