No longer will the distance between a musician and a filmmaker prevent a song from being used in any level of film project

VersusMedia would like to announce the addition of its Digital Signature service which provides artists from around the world the ability to sign and seal legal licensing agreements electronically. VersusMedia's Digital Agreement signature service utilizes a new technology that allows individuals from around the world to legitimately sign and seal legal agreements online, called e-signatures, and then distribute copies to all parties involved for safe-keeping. This allows filmmakers and musicians the ability to work together globally without ever seeing each other in person.

Finding a manager

Once you've decided that you are ready for management, there are several ways you can find a manager. You should first take stock of what you have to offer (besides your talent). It helps to have a good idea about yourself and your style. Don't expect a manager to be able to perform an assortment of miracles all by themselves. You have to come to the table with some elements in place and be willing to work hard to formulate the rest. The manager can help you to articulate your vision, find others that believe in you, and get you into the hands of interested and successful music industry professionals.

by Jeremy Rwakaara, At least a dozen times a day I receive a phone call or an email inquiry from an artist asking, "How do I find a manager to represent me?" or "Do you know any managers in (pick a state) who can manage me?" or "How do I go about finding a manager?" I often respond that the appropriate question is, "When should I consider being represented by a manager?" Since I get the (wrong) questions asked so frequently, I decided to write an article on management for artists.
