Veteran comedian and host of Thank God Is Friday (TGIF), Kwaku Sintim Misa, known in showbiz as KSM has justified why he tagged artiste managers as ‘fees collectors’.
In an interview with Ghanaweb, he explained that lot goes into managing an artiste than merely asking for monies.
According to KSM, the work of a Manager is very difficult especially where the industry is thriving.
He noted that not only are they are up to date on all productions but they are also aware of the kinds of parts producers and casting directors are seeking to cast.
KSM said an artiste manager gets in touch with as many casting directors as possible and they are usually busy setting up auditions or interview appointments for their clients.
He said artiste managers ‘hustle’ for the clients and make sure they keep their artiste busy, find them gigs, and after everything they negotiate a fee for the artiste and then take their cut.
