Key Takeaways:

• Be Your Own Agent: If you don’t have a booking agent, you need to take on that role yourself. This involves actively reaching out to promoters and booking gigs.
• Persistent Outreach: Research and contact promoters regularly. Follow up persistently to build relationships and increase your chances of getting booked.
• Active vs. Passive: Waiting for promoters to come to you is not effective. Proactively seek opportunities and follow up to maintain momentum.
• Building Reputation: As you book and rebook gigs successfully, you’ll attract the attention of booking agents who can further advance your career.
• Realistic Expectations: Understand that booking agents typically get involved when you’re already established. Act as your own agent until you reach that level.
