Music Business Facebook groups you should join now

This industry is all about networking, and what better way to do that than interacting on the social network.

A guest post by Randi Zimmerman of SymphonicBlog.

One of the most underutilized tools for networking in this industry are Facebook groups. Tons of music industry-related groups are actively sharing knowledge within communities of like-minded individuals just like you every day. In these groups, you can ask for support, get advice, inquire about job opportunities and so much more. Here are some groups you should definitely be a part of…

Artist Managers Connect

Artist Managers Connect is a digital community of artist managers from around the world who are dedicated to sharing knowledge, advice, and opportunities in order to better serve our artists and the industry as a whole. Industry pros and newbies alike have a lot to gain from this group.

“AMC is my favorite group on Facebook. Everybody in the group is supportive of each other and it’s opened up a lot of avenues for collaboration. They’re always doing meet-ups and events in various cities. Also, it’s not just for Artist Managers – members of the group work in all areas of the industry, so it’s a great way to meet new people and connect!”, says Randy Ojeda, Founder of Cigar City Management & Client Development Associate @ Symphonic.
