Working with an experienced manager to develop your music and brand will allow you to understand where you sit in the market and help navigate your career in the music business.
The Artist Development programme is focused on identifying your next steps and taking action, which means being honest about what you do well and what needs to improve. Part of that is knowing who you are as an artist – both sonically and visually.

The term ‘Artist Development Deal’ conjures up a lot of connotations in the music business. Generally, artists who were signed early in their careers and had time to develop and hone their craft – like Kate Bush – spring to mind (Bush was signed to EMI aged just 11 after Pink Floyd’s David Gilmour helped produce her demo but she was 19 before her chart-topping debut single was released).
However, in the modern music industry artist development has evolved, and there is a growing trend of labels, agents and managers looking to work with artists where most of the legwork is already done and some career milestones have already been achieved.
What is Artist Development in Music? Artist Development is the term given to the process of transforming a great artist with talent into a sustainable business through artist development programmes. A good artist developer will be looking to enhance an artist’s skill set across the full spectrum of the business.
This might include the development of the product, focusing the artist on developing their songwriting, musicianship, stage performance, etc to skyrocket their music career. But it could also be developing an artist’s knowledge and skills around the business aspects – helping them learn about royalties, contracts, balance sheets, accounting, PR and plugging.
It could be ensuring they know how to price their merchandise, what kinds of margins to aim at, and how to make sure their social media presence is engaging and working in their favour. Or, how to make sure their Spotify profile is optimised and that their songs have a good chance of getting on popular playlists to ensure the growth of their brand.
Music Gateway’s new artist development program has been created by industry professionals and designed with their real-world experience to help artists grow and develop their careers.
The program is a suite of artist development services designed to help manage an artist’s career with one-to-one advice covering branding, A&R, PR, Social Media Presence and Digital Marketing.
Music Gateway’s mantra of empowering independent artists is at the core of the service offering and the Artist Development Program allows artists to get advice on how to improve their look and their branding before connecting with key industry producers and creatives but after they’ve finished recording music.
There is also a music promotion service via Music Gateway’s dedicated music promotion team which helps break down the traditional barriers to key playlists, radio and TV through Music Gateway’s direct relationships with music industry gatekeepers.
Choosing the right music artist development services is imperative to your growth as an artist or musician. That’s where Music Gateway comes in. Our team of dedicated artist managers have previously worked with the likes of The 1975, Young T & Bugsey, Joss Stone and Ghetts, as well as working for GRM Daily, Kerrang, Sony and Ministry of Sound… to name just a few!!
We cover core areas such as Branding, Songwriting, Music Production, Promotion/Marketing, Networking and Live Performance. Plus we can put you in touch with music publishers, vocal coaches and more. Our promotions team can work on getting your music played on radio stations, explain how recording studios will work for recording artists, discussing record labels and record deals. You’ll never feel in the dark during the development process. Prices start from as low as £200 per month. Propel your career today!
Having talent and great songs will always be the magic ingredient in the music industry, but the truth is, that whilst the internet has empowered artists in a revolutionary way, it has also led to the saturation of the marketplace.
Modern artists now need to have more than just talent on their side, and an artist development program empowers musicians to grow their careers and reach key milestones under their own steam. Which in turn affords the opportunity to choose your own path – whether that is working directly with labels or staying independent, or a mixture of the two.
