Artists, Managers, Promoters & Venue Owners – What are the biggest problems in today’s independent music industry?

Hi everyone,
I’m researching the independent music ecosystem and would love insights from those working in it artists, managers, promoters, booking agents, venue owners, festival organizers, labels, and event curators.
Some questions I’m curious about:

  1. What’s the biggest challenge you face right now?

  2. What’s the most time-consuming part of your work?

  3. What’s one thing you wish existed that would make your job easier?

  4. What software or tools do you currently use, and what do they still lack?

  5. If Artificial intelligence could genuinely help you what would you want it to do?

  6. What makes finding artists, venues, promoters, or gigs difficult?

  7. Where does communication or collaboration usually break down?

  8. What’s something you still manage manually that should be automated?

  9. If you could build one tool for the music industry, what would it be?

I’m aiming to understand real pain points across the industry, including those behind live events and artist management.

Thanks in advance!
