What can a manager do for you as an artist? A manager has several responsibilities to maintain an artist career. "The manager is responsible for advising the artist career for as managing the business side of an artist or band's career, so that the band is free to focus on creating the music. A manager for an unsigned band, or a band signed to a small label, may wear many different hats: promoter, agent, accountant, and any role that needs filling for the band. A manager for an artist signed to a larger label may act more as a supervisor of the other people working for the band. They will make sure the label is on their toes, that advertising and promotion is in place, that tours are being booked, and that the band is being paid "(McDonald Heather).
First as an artist you want to know if the manager can invest in your career. See if the manager is fully qualified to be your manager. You must have a strong communication with each other. Both must be on the same page.
