Letting Go

Whenever an artist changes management, talks follow. Speculations range from unhappiness with the former manager to better opportunities with the new one. Sometimes, transferring to a new team creates huge ripples, while other instances are done quietly. What creates the biggest buzz are talents who suddenly decide to leave without finishing their contracts. Talents with unfinished contracts who refuse to honor the remaining provisions suffer more than their management.

The relationship of a talent with a manager is important. The manager is the one who negotiates with production teams, endorsement companies, and other interested parties on behalf of the talent. While the business side is taken care of, the talent can concentrate on the task at hand and ideally not worry about earnings. Of course, the manager gets a substantial fee with the promise of many work opportunities.

The grapevine is abuzz that a Talented Artist (TA) has opted to cut ties with a Management Team (MT). TA and MT created noise when their relationship was revealed to the public. Many were shocked that TA took a big risk and MT was praised for being brave to handle a prized personality. The present management of TA then was not amused with the move. and predictably explored options that would prevent the incident from creating a precedent for other talents to follow.

Alas, things might not have worked out as expected between TA and MT. Allegedly, TA and MT have parted ways professionally. Such decision might disappoint fans, who pinned hopes on a big project for TA care of MT. Nonetheless, TA has much to offer regardless of who will be managing her career and MT has several talents whose careers can still be made bigger.
