My name is Mike Arnold. I have over 35 years of direct experience in the music business as both an artist and as a businessman. I have worked as a writer and publisher and have copyr
ighted an extensive catalog of material. I have performed around the United States and in Europe and have gained a wealth of experience in all aspects of the live performance business. I am an experienced business manager and have managed projects all over the United States with budgets from several hundred thousand dollars to tens of millions. I have studied all the business techniques and approaches to team building from schools from coast to coast. I have studied the music business for the past several years as I have begun to transition from performer to management. I have logged classroom hours through Music Business Seminars, read dozens of books by all the experts in the record industry, promoters, and contract lawyers and of course other managers. I even enrolled in and completed Berklee College’s Artist Management Program in 2009 to make sure I have the most current information from the leading professionals in the field. Although I have learned a great deal from all these sources, the hands on experience along with my complete devotion and passion for music is what makes me the best at what I do. Building a team, creating a vision, setting a course and adapting along the way without loosing the vision or the values that define who we are is what I do.
