How to Get an Agent - Five Tips for Rappers

Some people are hesitant to get an agent because they dont want to pay the 10 percent commission the agent charges

. But agents can be a vital business asset because they help you to perform more. To earn their commission they have to promote your rap act to clubs managers, concert promoters, nightclub owners, local universities and chambers of commerce and any other place that pay for rap gigs. So a good agent will more than pay for themselves. So its not a question of should you get an agent but how do you go about getting an agent. Here are five tips for finding the right agent for rappers. Put on a show. Agents who specialize in hip-hop artists are always looking for exciting new talent and regularly hang out at clubs, especially on open mike nights. Pick two of your best songs to perform as a mashup. Be sure to play to the crowd. More than any other singer, rappers interact with the audience so get them involved. If you can get the audience on your side, any agent in the house will want to meet you. Introduce yourself. Put together a package that contains a demo, a headshot, a rsum, and copies of any reviews. Get a list of hip hop agents from the yellow pages, from online resources or from hip hop publications. Send the package to the agents along with a cover letter to introduce yourself. Make sure the package looks professional and the demo sounds professional. Use your social media groups. Let your friends and peers know you are looking for an agent. Ask them to pass it along to their friends. Make sure you have a professional looking web site they can visit to see videos of you performing. Post your rhymes. Dont just have videos of you performing on your web site. Have a section where you reprint your rhymes. Get a referral. Talk to friends and associates and find out who they would recommend. Even better, if they know an agent ask if they will introduce you. Go on Facebook or Twitter and ask for suggestions there, too.
