Artist Management
Career strategy, booking coordination, and the operational infrastructure that turns a working artist into a growing one.
Management That
Actually Does the Work.
Most management relationships are advisory — a call here, some feedback there. StageHaus management is operational. We build the materials, make the calls, coordinate the logistics, and execute the plan alongside you. Strategy without execution is just conversation.
We work with independent artists who are ready to take their career seriously — artists who need the systems, relationships, and strategic guidance to grow into the next level, whatever that looks like for them.
Start the Conversation"We don't give advice and step back. We're in the work — on the calls, in the documents, at the shows. Management means being accountable to the outcome."
Who This Is For
- Independent artists in the EDM, jam, funk, bass, and festival genres
- Artists ready to tour more seriously and build a real career infrastructure
- Artists who don't want to handle their own booking, contracts, and logistics
- Early to mid-career artists building toward festival stages
Everything in a Management Relationship
Management at StageHaus covers the full operational scope — not a subset of it.
EPK Development
A professional Electronic Press Kit that represents you at the level you want to be booked. Bio, photos, tech specs, press quotes, social links — built to open doors.
Rate Card Strategy
Setting the right guarantee based on your draw, your market, your genre, and where you're going — not just where you are. Knowing when to hold, when to negotiate, and when to walk.
Tech Rider Creation
A tech rider that reflects your actual production needs — stage plot, input list, backline requirements, hospitality rider — formatted professionally and updated as your setup evolves.
Booking Coordination
Outreach to promoters, venues, and festivals. Routing strategies that make geographic and financial sense. Contracts reviewed, negotiations handled, dates confirmed.
Release Planning
Coordinating release timing with touring, booking, and press. Making sure the music and the live career are working together — not running in different directions.
Career Strategy
Where are you going, what does it take to get there, and what's the plan for the next 6, 12, 24 months. Regular check-ins, honest assessments, and a strategy that evolves as you do.
The Management Process
Discovery
We get on a call and talk about your music, your goals, your current situation, and what you want the next year to look like. No obligation, just a real conversation.
Assessment
We review what you have — existing materials, booking history, release catalog, social presence — and identify where the gaps are and what needs to be built.
Agreement
Scope, percentage, expectations, and communication cadence — all in writing before anything starts. Management agreements are not complicated. Ours aren't.
Build
We build the infrastructure — EPK, rate card, rider, website if needed — while beginning outreach and booking conversations. The foundation before the push.
Execute & Grow
Ongoing booking, show advancement, strategy sessions, and career development. This is the long game — and we're in it with you for the long run.
Management FAQs
What percentage do you take?
Typically 15–20% of gross income generated through the management relationship. The exact number depends on the scope of work, the stage of your career, and what's included in the agreement. We discuss this openly on the first call.
Do you only manage artists in specific genres?
Our deepest experience and relationships are in EDM, jam, funk, bass, and the festival-circuit genres. That said, we evaluate each artist individually. If the music is strong and the artist is serious, we'll have a conversation regardless of genre.
What if I'm early in my career?
Reach out anyway. We work with artists at different stages. Some need full management. Some need just a few pieces built. We'll be honest about what makes sense for where you are — and if full management isn't the right fit yet, we'll tell you what to work on first.
How long is the management commitment?
Initial agreements are typically 12 months with a 90-day mutual out after the first 6 months. Management is a relationship, not a transaction — we want to work with artists who are in it for real, and vice versa.
Do you also handle booking as the manager?
Yes — booking coordination is included in management. For artists who need booking as a standalone service without full management, that's available separately through our Booking Strategy service.
