Questions

Ask a manager.

It depends on where you’re starting. An artist with no releases needs more groundwork than one with a growing audience, so we price each program on your intro call, after we’ve reviewed your application. Producers, photographers and other collaborators are priced separately, so you only pay for what your project needs.

Yes. Plenty of our artists do. Just plan to set aside time every week for the 90 days.

No. You need original songs, written or recorded. Releases can come later.

We review your progress together. If you’re ready, you move into management’s free 90-day trial run. If not, you leave with a clear plan.

No. Development gets you ready. Management depends on meeting the requirements.

Your EAR team. We run marketing, advertising, playlisting and websites in-house, and bring in producers and photographers from our network when you need them.
