My work is specifically geared towards primarily North American based creatives (DJs, producers, collectives, lighting designers, and so on) with an established local following, considering touring or touring more widely, needing guidance on compensation and negotiation, but who are perhaps not yet ready for a full-fledged agent. Very little about the industry is obvious or transparent, especially for marginalized people and where exposure-as-compensation is the norm.  Should you need foreign Visa assistance, full-on tour management, or similar services, I’d be happy to suggest agents and agencies we trust that can address those needs best.

Verdant Foundry’s direct involvement will vary from client to client based on their individual needs, but typically will involve an introductory session where you’ll discuss setting realistic goals over the next six months to a year, and then ongoing regular check-ins around meeting those goals. At the end of this time we can then discuss what might be next - extending our sessions, self management, or recommending a full-time agent who would be a good fit. Other clients may benefit from a single consulting session or two with a more hands-off approach. Rates vary based on need, are on a sliding scale, and will be discussed in our intro call.

Note: As of July 5th 2023, I am no longer taking on ongoing clients for regular management in our first cohort. I anticipate availability towards the end of 2023 / beginning of 2024. I’m still happy to take on intro calls and do one-off strategy sessions. You’re welcome to email me to get on the waitlist once we’ve had an intro call.
