Suggest you look quantitatively at how many artists & managers are out there broadly, beyond those youโ€™re consideringโ€”expand sample sizeโ€”and then ask what % of those are โ€œunder control.โ€ Inaccurate comparison. Iโ€™m never 100% sure, but I do know (and manage) artists whoโ€™d love to work w/Live Nation.
