Most developing artists don't have a manager. At some point you're going to have a ton of questions on what to do next and how you should do it.

But who do you call? That'd be me.

Perhaps you're ready to step things up and really go for it. You feel you're ready, your band is committed and you're ready to pour your heart and soul into your music.

But, how the hell do you that?

Or maybe your career is rocking along nicely but you still can't grasp on how to properly use social media to expand your fan base and make the most of the relationship you have with existing fans.

And then there's marketing plans. Admit it, you don't have the first clue of what's involved.

This is where I come in.

My name is Brian Thompson and I have twenty years experience in the music business, from many different perspectives in the industry. I'm an artist manager, a label owner, a web designer, a social media junkie and a well respected marketing dude.

Admit it, you and your music career need a hand. I'm here to help.

I'm available for both one-on-one and group consultations.

Book a session with me now using theses PayPal payment options. Once you submit your payment, I'll contact you asap to schedule a time that works best for you.

Monthly Mentorship Package
$649/month

*that's a savings of $96 compared to buying 5 hours of the individual power sessions

This is the next best thing to having a manager!

My monthly mentorship and consulting package gives you 5 hours of unrestricted access to pick my brain via in-person meetings, phone, text, email or Skype.

You're bumped to the front of the line, which means that I'll always be available to take your calls and help you out whenever you need it.

So what does this look like? This can be whatever you want it to be. It's different for everyone. This package is completely customizable to your needs and goals.

Working on a project and had a ton of ongoing questions? Need someone to brainstorm with? Need help working on a branding or marketing campaign? Need help with social media? This is for you.

If you have too much going on for a one or two hour power session, then this is for you. This package also means you don't have to book appointments with me! You call…we chat, for as long you need.

Consider this a month-to-month management deal with no commitments and no percentages!

This package does not include booking shows, radio promotion or publicity.

Any unused time remaining from the 5 hour monthly package cannot be rolled over to the following month.
