Music Research Assistant

TASK DESCRIPTION — Artist Booking Research & Outreach
Project: Artist Booking Contact Research + Email Outreach
Volume: ~100 artists across 13 categories
Format: Remote, hourly, ongoing

What you’ll do
For each artist on a provided list, you will:
Step 1 — Research (per artist)
Using AI tools (Claude, ChatGPT) and databases (Hunter.io, ContactOut, Pollstar, Booking Agent Info, LinkedIn, Music Business Worldwide), find:
• Full name of the manager + management company + direct email
• Full name of the European booking agent + agency + direct email
• Flag if the artist is currently on tour or recently released an album (affects timing of outreach)
Step 2 — Log results
Enter all findings into a shared Google Sheet with columns: Artist | Manager Name | Manager Email | Agent Name | Agent Company | Agent Email | Source | Confidence (High/Medium/Low) | Notes
Step 3 — Send outreach emails
Using an email address I provide, send a personalised email to each contact using a template I will supply. Personalise only the artist name and relevant details — do not improvise the rest.

What I’m looking for in a candidate
• Comfortable using AI tools and industry databases to accelerate research
• Familiar with the live music / entertainment industry
• Detail-oriented — accuracy matters more than speed
• Experience with email outreach tools a plus (Gmail, Mixmax, etc.)
• Fluent in English

What I will provide
• Full artist list (~100 names, organised by category)
• Email template for outreach
• Email address to send from
• Google Sheet template
• Example of the research depth expected (completed sample for 1 artist)
