This Sunday, August 21, 2011 TaNeal will be at the end of her contract with current managers. It's important for artists to know about what do and what not to do when considering management, TaNeal shares her experience and taking her talents to Atlanta, Georgia a hotbed of rising soul and R&B musicians.
The official announcement released today states:
TaNeal is now finished with her contract with Golden Voice Media, the management team including client Ted Williams the homeless guy with the golden voice.
She states that they made a promise to put her to work and that she would make a certain amount of money within the first 3 months with signing with them. They kept their promise with one show and did nothing else following that. They never checked in with her and took an unacceptable length of time to followup on her messages and texts. One mistake she feels they made was that they did not understand booking and could have used Ted Williams celebrity to benefit their other artists. With that said, it is important to know as an artist who wants to excel in a career of music, if someone approaches you and shows an interest...
1. They should not ask for money from you.
2. Do not be afraid to re-negotiate any contracts they present.
3. If something doesn't feel right, trust your gut because something is wrong!
TaNeal has learned and is ready to move on. Since signing with Golden Voice Media she on her own has re-located to Atlanta, Georgia pushing her music and landed a speaking role in an upcoming film "Rebound: The Movie" Directed by Micky Riggins. TaNeal's first show since re-locating is this Saturday August 20, 2011 with the Indy Music Fest I and 6th annual International Soul Music Summit: Underground Atlanta (Kenny's Alley) at 10pm.

Well Tneal has to remember Ted Williams has been in Rehab however I do believe her when she says that she wasn't properly Managed. You can tell Mr Battle didn't handle Ted right from the moment Ted hired him as his Manager. Ted's wellbeing was being was not looked after. Mr Battle from what I've seen does not know what he is doing he clearly doesn't know how to Manage Mr Battle is very old school.
ReplyDeleteIt sounds like this Al Battle doesn't know how or has forgotten how to Manage his clients. I knew he didn't know what he was doing when he let Ted make the tv and magazine tabloid rounds and to have Ted appear on Dr Phil was a real career disater. And to have Ted sell his cardboard sign and jacket when he was homeless soon after leaving Rehab was the wrong move. I hope and pray that Ted can succeed in sobriety and career and move on to a new Manager cause this dude doesn't know what he is doing
