Q&A
TaDa Entertainment, based out of Houston, TX, was developed in 2006 and has been representing artists every since. The founders, Kesh Anderson and Dani Price, designed this entertainment company with the music artist in mind.TaDa Entertainment agents are the people who make the music happen. With well placed connections, TaDa Entertainment can make all the difference in getting artists in front of the right audience and increasing their profile. TaDa agents work closely with promoters and record labels to make sure the artist on their books are getting the proper exposure. TaDa also takes care of the negotiations with promoters and venues when it comes to the pay for performances and to arrangements for things like backline and accommodations.
What is TaDa Entertainment's Job?:
While the scale of the responsibility for a music agent may differ depending on the level of band they are working with, the basic tasks involved in the job remain the same whether booking club shows for smaller indie bands or arena shows for major label acts. Agents should:
Liase with bands/labels/management to agree on a window for tour dates, the financial and logistic requirements of the tour, and the goals of the tour (promote a new album, etc).
Contact promoters and venues to pitch bands and agree on performance dates.
Arrange contracts with promoters regarding pay, rider, guest list, and equipment.
What Can a TaDa Entertainment Agent Do for an artist?:
Music agents hold the keys to the good shows, and as an up and coming band, a good agent on your side can mean playing in front of bigger audiences sooner than you probably would . If you sign with an agent who works with larger bands, you will have the inside track on getting the support slot on tours with these larger bands. Music agents also have the ear of all the good promoters, which means you have an immediate in with venues and promoters, instead of having to convince them to give you a shot. Agents likewise have the pull to get you more money than you could on your own.
Do Agents Need a Contract?:
Absolutely! A contract will help fend off any misunderstandings down the road and let everyone know where they stand. A contact will also clarify what the band expects of the agent and the agent expects of the band. You won't be fighting about money or arguing and everything will be written down in black and white.
I want TaDa Entertainment to represent me! What do I do?:
Set up an official consultation and sign a contract. Make sure you discuss your needs as an artist and everything that is covered in the contract. After the contract is signed, you will officially be under the TaDa Entertainment Umbrella!
