Artist Development is a big part of becoming a successful hip-hop artist. A lot of upcoming rappers are so focused on creating music that they forget to develop themselves into superstars. Creating good music is only part of the equation.
Initially, developing an artist was the responsibility of the labels and the A&R rep that “discovered” you. However, in today’s world, the responsibility of artist development is the hands of the artist themselves and their “camp” – and if done correctly, is very profitable.
What Is Artist Development?
Artist development is the process in which you help an artist positively shape their career for both the immediate future and long-term.
Depending on how far along in your music career you are, this process might sound a lot like what your manager does – and it should. Before you have a team of people who specialize in different aspects of your career that will help develop you and your career, your manager (or you) will fill this position overall. Artist development will help a lot with music promotion.
