Question Title

* 12. What best describes your desire to pursue music management? (Pick 1 response only)

I just want to work in music in some capacity

I’m music management-curious

I’ve recently had an insight into music management as a potential career, and I’m keen to explore it further

I’ve already taken some steps to pursue a career in music management, and I’m liking where it’s taking me

Music management is my main career ambition - I’ve already self-started and I’m laser-focussed to turn it into a long-term career

Other (please specify)

Question Title

* 13. If you have already started dabbling in music management, what best describes your situation?

I’m a self-managed artist or the designated “organiser” for my own band, but I think I’m actually pretty good at this. Perhaps this is another career option for me?

I’ve been helping out artists & producers in my family/community. I think I might be a manager already and didn’t realise it?!

I’ve done, or am doing, an internship at a management company and have started managing local artists based on my experience.

I’ve started managing an artist as part of an assessment for school/uni/TAFE.

I do bits of everything in music as I’m a self-starter, and music management is one of those things. I’ve just dived in!

Other (please specify)

Question Title

* 14. What are your main motivations for pursuing music management? (Pick as many as relevant)

My motivations are primarily financial. I believe there is some decent money to be made in the music industry and I strive to make the most as possible.

I’ve fallen in love with an artist and I want to ensure as many people hear their music as possible

I work or have interned in a different field of music, but I want to explore artist management to see if that suits me more.

I want to be a part of a music community, and based on my skills, this is the best opportunity I have to contribute to it.

I already am a part of a community and it’s my role to elevate the voices of my friends and family.

I’m attracted to the prestige of being a part of an artists’ inner-circle of advisors.

I’m a problem-solver, and I love being challenged to find the best solutions for a team.

I’m creative and love music, but performance/writing is not my strength. I’d love another outlet for this creativity, and I believe I can get that through music management & strategy building.

I get a kick out of organising and planning. I want an outlet for that.
