Too Many Cooks In The Kitchen

My contribution to the entertainment world is as an artist manager. This role is fiercely competitive! I have learned over the past few weeks, there are as many managers as there are aspiring entertainers.

The reprentation has seriousy evolved so there are now a host of various platforms to submit clients. Although there is greater exposure, the industry has managed to keep up with changes.

Because the industry has made the process as easy as they can more shady "managers" have surfaced and have tainted the character of this much needed profession. In fact, inCalifornia and New York only agents can secure jobs for talent, but many managers book their talent. As I am fairly new to the industry, I seek wise counsel from established managers. This is important because credibility is everthing in the industry.

Now-a-days everyone thinks that they have what it takes to manager an artist's career and artists because they are hungry for work in their field use managers that don't really have their best interest at heart. With all of the managers out here, the integrity and strength of managers has drastically diminshed, much to the chagrin of those of us who are serious about the industry.

That's why they say, "when there are too many cooks in the kitchen either something is forgotten or will burn", the same is applicable to the masses of managers in the industry.
