What is an Active Supporter?
An Active Supporter plays a crucial role in an artist's development. They provide encouragement, offer help during difficult times, and give constructive feedback during better times. Much of the hard work is done behind the scenes. They ensure that the artist practices and rehearses, safely and punctually gets to gigs and events, and returns home afterwards. They assist in securing funds necessary for performances, recordings, and essential preparations. Overall, an Active Supporter acts as a mentor, confidant, advisor, and protector for the artist during their early stages of development. It is nearly impossible for an artist to succeed without the support of an Active Supporter.
An Active Supporter can come from various backgrounds. During an artist's early teenage years, this supporter might be a parent or guardian, an older sibling, or another family member. In their early 20s, the supporter could be a partner, close friend, band member, mentor, or coach — such as a vocal coach, musician coach, or performance coach. As the artist reaches their mid to late 20s and becomes more professional, the supporter may evolve into an agent, manager, or a representative from a record label.
