What Does It Take to Get Signed?
One of the key takeaways from Flako’s interview is the importance of consistency and branding. He shares how labels like Del Records are not only looking for talent but also for an artist with a clear identity, vision, and a work ethic that matches their potential.
He stresses the need for independent artists to develop their brand early on, making sure they understand their audience, their unique style, and the importance of growing their presence on social media platforms like Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube.
“Getting signed is about more than just having talent. It’s about being ready to bring value to a label – they’re looking for artists who are already making noise in the industry,” Flako explains.
The Role of a Manager in an Artist’s Career
Flako’s role as a manager is far from just booking shows and handling contracts. He discusses how he acts as a mentor, strategist, and connector, bridging the gap between artists and the people who can elevate their careers. His duties range from negotiating deals, managing public relations, and planning the right collaborations to ensure his artists stand out in a crowded market.
“As a manager, it’s my job to ensure the artist is always in a position to win. It’s about seeing the bigger picture and helping them navigate challenges they might not even know are coming,” he shares.
Where You Are in Your Career as an Artist
Flako also sheds light on the different stages of an artist’s career and how important it is for them to stay humble and hungry for success. He emphasizes that every artist’s journey is unique, and success doesn’t come overnight. From the initial hustle of self-promotion to the moment you sign with a label, it’s all part of the journey.
For artists wondering if they’re ready for the next level, Flako advises doing a self-assessment:
• Are you consistently creating and releasing content?
• Are you growing your fan base, and do you have strong engagement on social media?
• Do you have a clear vision for where you want to go as an artist?
Answering these questions honestly can help artists understand where they stand and what’s needed to push forward.
