How does an up-and-coming artist get on a festival bill?
The best way to get one is to have either a really, really good agent pushing for the act or a really strong buzz...
What comes first: a record label or booking agent? Do booking agents work with artists who aren’t signed?
"Every act is different. Agents work with unsigned bands all that time."
"They have to be really passionate about who they sign or results will fall flat"

What are some things that catch your eye/ear when checking out a new artist?
"If have under 1,000 streams per song, very few Facebook fans and zero touring history, you probably aren’t ready for an agent yet."
