Can a publisher also be the musicians manager?
Yes, the manager manages the career of the artist and also tries to exploit and market the songs of the musician. A manager collects a percentage fee from the live performances of the musician and may assist (like a booking agent) in attempting to get live performances for the musician. Usually, a publisher does not share in a musician’s live performance income. The manager also tries to get the musician a record deal(s) and promotes the musician. The publisher, however, works to market the songs of the musician and also collects and distributes the performance, mechanical and synchronization royalties.
