Function of the artist manager: business and partnership. There are no job in the music industry; only opportunities . As a manager we shift from being consumers into being small businesses. Don"t worry about lack of experience: grow with your artist. No one is ever hired (create your own busi. ) Worked on carnivals and worked with those promoters. For ever he brought elvis, he kept 50% (sometimes more) Didn"t let him tour outside of north america because he was afraid he"d get found out about being illegal. America was polarized in their feelings; he monetized this by selling i hate elvis buttons that were sold at elvis record burning rallies. Controlled elvis" personal life; marriage, say in when they had kids, etc. Was in millions of dollars in debt from gambling, which is what brought elvis to. Opened record section, started buying music magazines because he saw young people were buying them.
