Being an indie artist you control a lot in your career! Even though you have a "camp" or support team they work for YOU!... you are the talent and your the one that is most likely to generate the income for the team. I meet a lot of artist that are in sum nice budgets but the person that funding the projects is just running the show wit no guidance and the artist is just sitting there and letting them do what they want to do cause this person is investing in them. Does that sound right??.... I'm glad you answered NO.... NO artist is suppose to let anyone run the show just because someone is making an investment in them. Now if u have signed sum kinda deal more than likely the artist wont have much say so in a lot of the things. But Just know that your support staff works for YOU and not the other way around even thought it is a hand in hand situation but the final word goes to you.
About a month ago I was at a club watching sum artist perform when one of the artist support team gets mad cause the DJ wouldn't let his artist perform more than the allotted amount of songs. The guy walks up to the DJ booth and pushes over ALL and i do mean ALL of the DJ equipment and it was 2 DJs on duty that nite and it was the CRAZIEST thing I have ever seen since i have been in the independent music scene. SO as far as the artist goes now he will have a HARD time getting any Djs to support him in anything he does! So artist just remember that you will need to be agressive in making your decisions about your support team when you are picking them because they are an extension of you and if they do something all the blame will fall back on you!
