Music business roles

The music industry is full of titles everyone throws around… but very few truly understand. Manager. Producer. Publisher. A&R. Agent. Label.

In this series, Fab Dupont breaks down the real roles behind a working music career: who does what, who gets paid, and more importantly… who actually matters for you right now.

From artist-facing roles to corporate players and modern hybrid positions, you’ll learn how the business actually functions, not in theory, but in practice.

Fab explains:

- How a manager really acts as the CEO of your career
- Why live performance and booking agents have become central to revenue
- The difference between producers, beatmakers, and top liners
- How labels, publishers, and distributors actually make money
- Why some roles matter early… and others only when things start moving
