Episode 1

Before you think about labels or deals, you need to understand the people closest to your music.

In this first episode, Fab Dupont breaks down the artist-facing roles that directly shape your career and your sound.

From managers to producers, from tour managers to booking agents, this is the core team that turns ideas into momentum.

Fab explains:

- Why your manager is the CEO of your career
- The real difference between a manager and a booking agent
- How a tour manager keeps everything from falling apart on the road
- What a producer actually does beyond making beats
- The evolution of roles like beatmakers, top liners, and session musicians

You’ll also understand when you actually need these roles and when you don’t.

Because building a team too early can slow you down, and building it too late can break your momentum.
