This video make me feel so good ! So much hope in one video 🎶🤩🥰

Got damit this guy is a newbie like 👍 thanks for all the commercials ur not gonna last long dude got one account to 60 k and he thinks he’s him the music means nothing once the bond bubble burst not serious note dude we get it. You got monetized. It doesn’t mean put commercials in every fucking 10 seconds dude get real man like learn the fucking game, bro don’t let the fucking game merch you out, bro.

Bro if after 62 you take off, meaning you become a star and in demand, how is that where it becomes easy? Easy in what regard?

WOW!!! Saw this pop up on my feed, finished my work earlier and went to the beach here in Tanzania, East Africa with a notebook to document all the gems.
So so so so so so so powerful. Best wishes to everyone out there pushing their dreams and manifesting them into reality.

Great podcast m8 and thank you Charlie for your time and great knowledge and information. 😊👊

Thank you for your work and for having such great guests. Charlie Rocket you are my spirit animal. 🐅You ALWAYS help set me straight. Like a chiropractor for the creative soul. He had me crying and then fired up all in this 2.5 hour window all while scrubbing toilets and cleaning millionaires homes. I cant believe this is my life... for now. But I will keep going! “If you build it, they will come. “ sometimes I lose momentum because I’m simply overwhelmed. Turning 46 this week and about to shoot 2 music videos. After this though, I’m going to pump out the music. Can’t express my gratitude though for his wisdom, tenacity and ruthless optimism. 🙏🏼❤️🙏🏼 And I’m booking that flight today! I got my ticket, my color, my my emoji, my number, my phrase, and my game plan all thanks to this convo! HUGE LOVE! 🙏🏼❤️🙏🏼

I’m “that kid” at 49:05
I just wanted to thank yall so much.. 🫶 and for anyone that sees this, just know that the power of delusional optimism is very very real.
W Pod, W friends, Winning Streak!!!
Love u Charlie!!

i know a guy who can cure his tumor 100%

the mystique point hit hard, so many artists overshare and kill the intrigue before anyone even gets curious. been using popHatch to actually track which posts turn into real fans instead of just noise, way better than guessing after every release.

He just changed my whole perspective I didn’t realize how much more I have than others, all I’m missing is engineering nd content, may the road to 62 begin 🙏🏽

Charlie is brilliant at marketing but reckless at music business. The industry IS how you make sure the money helps chasing makes it to you, instead of the middle people. Oh, and Wolf Gang does NOT use a microwave.

I could really use a manager/team to help me get started on my unfold videos.

Minutes in and I get the point. Gotta believe in yourself and manifest your journey. Go against the grain when others tell you “no”

UGC is the key. Connect with your audience by being authentic to who you are. Spend money on certain meta ads after testing what works via UGC… and then ALOT of his background about things that USED to work and don’t anymore. Chase your dreams and write them down and go hard. What I miss?

Spice own the color blue. Dancehall queen

I'm a female artist who's basically navigating this music thing all by myself and I've been attracting all types of people/advice the more visible I'm becoming. (I have a very tiny following and the bs is already starting) It's been difficult to navigate alone. SOME People want to get close to me but I find out they have weird motives or want to try and sleep with me (males and females!!). Basically I feel very vulnerable. I was just praying for a blueprint or a good manager to help me navigate and be a protector. As I'm listening this is exactly what I was praying for...just tell me what tf to do and I will carry it out! Just some Clear instruction without all the weird energy. I know as I do my part I will attract a good manager eventually . Thank you!

Single most impactful interview I've ever watched, trying to break an artist in Nigeria for years, one day ill come back to this comment because this interview changed my life

Only 3-5% of your views are going to be from people that already follow you. TikTok is for discovery not building a fan base. I love that he’s so passionate, but I think this really needs to be back up for it to make sense.

Damn, thank you so much for this

Only :28 min in. Pure GOLD!

that boy is a preacher... the conviction so real

*What he said about "AI" was total BIASED NEAR-SITGHTED BULLSHIT - absolute. AI is absolutely NOT the equivalent to a "Microwave & a Chef! And NO Wolf Gang Puck does not use a god damn Microwave - I know I use to work for him.*

PHENOMENAL!!!!!!!!!

Mystique is my first name!

Wow! This is so good!

62 rule is ocus pocus theory. Better believe in Jesus Christ, a real Saviour.

Wow bro! this man just re-installed hope in me! Every piece of detail he shares, i keep going back and writing down the timestamps - this guy is so eager and it’s satisfying to watch

I believe i speak for independent artist managers when i say; WE NEED TY BAISDEN ON THIS POD! 🙏🏽

Study guide for return viewers and everyone else interested in taking notes on this masterclass:

In this episode of The Manager's Playbook, former music manager Charlie Rocket shares a detailed blueprint for independent artists and managers to build a successful career and a "cult" fanbase without relying on major record labels. The conversation focuses on practical strategies, avoiding industry "secrets," and maintaining artist mystique.

Key Takeaways & Strategies:

The Law of 62 (0:02 - 0:06): Charlie emphasizes the importance of momentum and consistency, suggesting that releasing a high volume of music (aiming for 62 songs) helps gain traction.
Protecting Artist Mystique (17:34 - 21:06): He argues against artists acting like "influencers" by posting constant gimmicky promotional videos on their main pages. Instead, he suggests using separate fan pages for viral, high-frequency, or "cheesy" content to keep the artist's brand mysterious and authentic.
The "Unfolding" Content Strategy (21:06 - 26:48): Charlie advocates for creating content that "unfolds"—videos that start with an intriguing premise or visual mystery and slowly reveal more context, keeping the viewer engaged until the end.
Data-Driven Development (36:00 - 43:03): To avoid burnout and guesswork, he recommends using tools like Untitled to share demos with a small group of 20 "superfans" for feedback. This helps identify hits early and makes fans feel invested in the music's creation.
Building Community & Branding (54:03 - 1:08:24): He stresses the importance of owning a specific aesthetic—choosing a signature color, style, or accessory—and establishing catchphrases or fan rituals to foster a sense of belonging among the fanbase.
Small Team Maneuverability (26:48 - 34:51): He advises artists to operate like a "jet ski" rather than a "cruise ship," emphasizing that a small, agile team can execute ideas and pivot much faster than a large machine.
IRL Marketing (1:56:05 - 1:59:53): Even in a digital era, Charlie highlights the power of grassroots, real-life events (listening parties, video viewing parties) to build genuine local connections that often outweigh the impact of millions of random views.

Charlie Rocket concludes that the music industry has no real secrets; success comes from studying successful patterns, being tenacious, and treating the pursuit of a dream as a simple, actionable process rather than a complex mystery.

Always a great chat when Charlie talks.
