Our first assignment in our class posed the question, what artist would you like to manage? I know there are thousands of people that I could have chosen, but I chose Stan Jones. Stan Jones is an Artist, as well as a producer and songwriter. He actually has numerous awards for his Songwriting and Producing. Some people may wonder why I would choose him over all of the superstars in the gospel industry. Well the first thing you have to understand is we have been instructed to make our goals attainable. Stan Jones is attainable to me. I know him, he was my husband's best man in our wedding and on top of that he is so talented and a joy to be around.
Our text, This Business of Artist Management, gives us the ingredients to a successful artist/manager relationship. One of those ingredients is compatibility. Regardless of my creative ideas and contacts, we have to be able to work together. This makes for a great potential working relationship, since we've already conquered the first. I don't expect him to consider me without the education I am receiving at Full Sail, because the one thing that I have learned about him is, he is professional when it comes to music.
Another factor in choosing him is his work ethic. Our text tells us to take creative inventory of the artist's abilities. Evaluating Stan Jones' ability, I know that he has the potential to become a greater influence in the industry as an Artist. He has a unique sound and style. He is not trying to be like anyone else in the industry. Material is definitely not an issue, he has numerous awards for his writing, which increases the opportunity for long-term record deals, which he is negotiating a new deal now. His Physical Appearance is an asset. He is a clean-cut handsome man with a great style of his own. He definitely has the Total Image Package. He is a stellar guy with a strong work ethic and lives his image.
