MICHAEL PARISI LAUNCHES
BESPOKE ARTIST CONSULTANCY
SERVICE THE RIGHT PATH
The Right Path, a bespoke artist consultancy service by Michael Parisi launches online this week.
The renowned A&R expert, former label MD, owner of artist management company Michael Parisi Management and head of Left Hand Publishing (with Universal Records) is expanding his portfolio and offering a unique opportunity to aspiring artists to receive personalised guidance in their careers.
The Right Path will guide singers, songwriters and bands, helping them to define themselves as artists, providing valuable feedback and critique on their music, developing a solid career path and making important connections to the industry.
With an approach which he describes as ‘…tough but fair, direct but constructive and most importantly, realistic…’, Michael will empower artists to grow in confidence and move positively toward success.
The Right Path offers two ‘Pathways’, through which artists can receive guidance. The first, ‘Demo A&R/Feedback’, open to all artists, offers an invitation to submit a demo of up to three songs. Michael will listen to the demo, compile his expert A&R feedback, then hold a personal consultation via zoom or conference call where he will make specific recommendations and offer valuable industry contacts where appropriate. Artists may submit their demo as often as they wish.

The more intensive pathway, ‘The Right Path Program’, is by invitation only. This program will be delivered personally by Michael after hearing the artist’s demo (submitted firstly through the website) should he believe they are at a level where he can work with them in a genuinely productive way. Although Michael receives a lot of requests for this service, it is only available for artists he believes are sufficiently developed.
In addition, all participants in The Right Path can complete an optional 12 Lesson online course in the Business of Music created and delivered by leading music industry lawyer and educator Andrew Watt (of Ravens Nest Consulting), designed to help young artists and bands speak the language of the business side of music.
Michael Parisi is one of Australia’s acknowledged masters of A&R: the music industry’s key creative role of finding talent and ensuring it makes the right connections for success. In more than 30 years in all facets of the global business, the artists he has discovered, signed and nurtured have accounted for sixteen #1 albums and 15 million album sales.
Michael’s expertise has helped forge the landscape of modern music, from REM and the Red Hot Chili Peppers to Muse, Kylie Minogue, the Whitlams, Dan Sultan and Vera Blue. Today, his management, music publishing, and recording and consultancy connections span from The Voice in Australia to the world’s largest music conglomerate, Universal Music.
The Right Path is a one-on-one consultancy program which distils all of this experience into uniquely tailored designs for success for new artists taking their first steps into the music business. “I have an affinity for helping artists discover who and what they are,” Michael says. “I enjoy watching artists grow from zero to hero.”
