Most Artists Will Never Get a Manager. Here's What to Do Instead ft. Troy Carter #280

He managed Lady Gaga. Now he wants to manage a million artists at once. Troy Carter (Atom Factory, ex-Spotify, now Venice Music) joins us to break down why most artists are never getting a manager, and what to do about it.

In this episode, Troy shares the priceless advice Benny Medina gave him (hint: STFU), an insane Suge Knight story, Lady Gaga's black perfume, what a manager actually does for an artist, the biggest advantage signed artists have over independents, how most artists make the mistake of treating singles like entire eras, what Spotify taught him about streaming money, the current landscape of AI and music, the future of the music industry, his latest product comanager and what Venice Music is building, and a very special edition of the Rapid Fire Rampage.
