As a fan, I know I'd be interested in the business of how a written song or songs gets to tour. Like, how do you write for the stage? Does your manager get involved in the input like, "No, that won't work live?" Have you run into any weird, unscrupulous club owners who don't wanna pay up? That kinna stuff.

Well Ill definitely try to show that to you guys, if not just for you and aaroca! haha maybe some more people can come a long.
I can say this about management tho: Um, it depends. haha. There's a lot of "it depends" in the music industry, particular in recording studios, from a technical stand point but I won't get in to that.
Some managers are open to give you a lot of creative freedom and they just try to find the best things you do and push those.
However, most artists have to work for that. Most artists are going to start out being pushed to work with producers that are "hit makers" as a way of hedging the bets of those who are investing money in them. That's typically the way labels work, major ones anyway.
For me... its a little column A and column B. My manager is mostly going to help me make the right choices. There will be no label involved, I'll be taking care of that shit myself. He IS going to take some part in me writing however. I'm not really sure how that's going to work because he hasn't come in yet. But I'm assuming he'll try to change some things. I think it's an age old fight between trying to write something creative and honest that you want and also listen to them trying to help make it mass appealing.
IDK it's still early so I guess we'll all be figuring it out together. I may stream writing this first song at some point so you guys can hear what I'm doing, if not ill make a little youtube video or something.
