Top music managers in the United States

Start by identifying managers who work with artists in your genre. Use Groover to filter managers by style, whether you make hip-hop, indie rock, electronic, pop, or other genres. Check their profiles to see what artists they represent and what they're looking for. Send your best track with a clear, professional message explaining who you are and what you're looking for in management.

Managers look for artists with strong material, a clear vision, and existing momentum. They want to see you're serious about your career, whether that means consistent releases, an engaged fanbase, or strong streaming numbers. They also look for professionalism, work ethic, and artists who are ready to commit to building a long-term career. Genre expertise matters too, so managers working in hip-hop, indie, or electronic scenes will have different priorities.

The United States has the largest and most diverse music industry globally, with thriving scenes in cities like Los Angeles, New York, Nashville, Atlanta, and Austin. Managers here often specialize in specific genres like trap, indie pop, country, house music, or alternative rock. The US market offers access to major labels, influential media, festivals, and touring opportunities. Regional scenes also play a big role, with different cities known for different sounds and industry connections.

Send your strongest, most polished track. Write a concise message that explains who you are, what you've accomplished, and why you're reaching out to that specific manager. Show you've done your research by mentioning artists they work with or why your style fits their roster. Highlight any momentum you have, like streaming numbers, press coverage, or live shows. Be professional, clear, and respectful of their time.

Every manager you contact will listen to your track and respond within 7 days. If they don't, you get your credits back. Response rates vary, but you'll receive honest feedback whether they're interested or not. Some managers may offer advice, others may want to schedule a call, and some may pass but explain why. Not every submission leads to representation, but you'll build connections and learn what managers are looking for in your genre.
