What Does a Music Manger Do? ft. Mike Mowery (Ice Nine Kills) Don't Shit On The Bus
-
- Music Interviews
This week we welcome long-time friend and amazing music manager Mike Mowery to the podcast. Mike Mowery has managed a variety of different artists over his career, however these days he spends the majority of his time working with Ice Nine Kills. Mike is very well-spoken… wait a manager, well-spoken? No way! But really, I was very impressed with everything he had to say. Very concise, straight to the point - and honest. I love how deeply he has thought about all the topics we discussed and I could tell he truly cares about his job and spends his life trying to take it to another level. Thank you Mike! Enjoy my friends.

• What a manager does in the music world
