The TAA says that only licensed talent agents can "procure employment" in California. "Procuring employment" means booking gigs, pitching you to labels, negotiating deals, etc. The confusing part is that the line between management and agency work can sometimes overlap.
Have you ever been reading through a management agreement and noticed the paragraph saying "Manager is not a talent agent and will not procure employment" ? This language exists because of California's Talent Agencies Act (TAA). Here's what it actually means and why it matters!
