The Agency as Your Collection Department
What happens if a promoter’s check bounces or they “forget” the wire transfer? Individual artists often feel awkward chasing money—they want to stay “cool” with the promoter.
The agency takes the heat for you. They have a “Blacklist” of promoters who don’t pay. If a promoter burns one artist at a major agency, that agency will pull all their artists from that venue. That is the leverage you pay for.
The Bottom Line: Let the agency play “Bad Cop” so you can stay the artist.
