Industry rule number 4080

To paraphrase A Tribe Called Quest, classical music industry people are shady. Case in point: I just received this unbelievable response from a classical music agency after I requested the cessation of its unsolicited emails. [It was a manual request, since none of these emails included an unsubscribe option.]

Way to stay classy, Parker Artists! Not to worry – I have many other ways of learning about ‘artists of worth’.

It’s just this type of false entitlement that makes me allergic to these artist reps. Why on earth would any musician entrust a career - not to mention their integrity - to a group like this? [And for the record, I do not use an agent.]
