Abstract
Many musicians begin their careers in the unknown. These artists have an initial spark or an idea, and often, a whole lot of talent. When these artists begin to produce quality material, many of them find themselves at a loss of what to do next. They find themselves being pulled in many different directions, but almost always leading themselves towards what they truly need, a manager. Once musicians obtain managers, they trust them to guide, shape and organize them towards success. Yet, how can a manager be certain of success within an artist? Are there ways in which a manager creates a specific environment that will lead their clients towards successful sold out shows, merchandise, or fame? Managers such as Ben Mawson and Scooters Braun's careers are a testament to what it takes to lead an artist towards success. Personal experiences with up-and-coming artists are a road map towards guiding, shaping, and organizing artists towards success.
