10 Things About Stevie Barr
1) I'm a music industry professional that handles the whole f*@cking shebang and a manager that is both a business and creative operator. As a caretaker of your career you also get to utilise my expertise in marketing, brand positioning, sales, advertising, publicity, promotions, editorial writer, content creator and contract negotiator. I will also handle with the big end of town on your behalf, dealing with labels/publishing and booking agents. If you're an independent artist or musician looking for guidance, I'm the complete music business multi disciplinarian. Nothing one-dimensional about my operation but remember we're a team, equals in business with unequal profit share (you get the big percentage).
