Artist Management
Day to day representation, career planning, negotiation and the coordination of everyone an artist works with. The job is to make the artist's decisions easier and better informed.

The work
Careers are built. They are not discovered.
A good song opens a door. What decides whether an artist is still working in five years is everything around it, and most of that is unglamorous.
Repertoire chosen with a cold eye. A live show that survives a bad room. Knowing which market will actually take this artist, and which one is a polite waste of a year. Tamir Hitman has spent two decades on that side of the desk, as a music director for Israeli national television, as a songwriter, and as the person sitting with an artist at two in the morning deciding whether the second verse earns its place.
The approach has not changed much. Start with identity, because nothing downstream works without it. Then repertoire, then performance, then the market. In that order, every time.
Expertise
Four disciplines that only work when they are handled together.
Artist Development
Identity, repertoire, vocal and stage work, visual direction. The part of the process that takes the longest and gets skipped the most often.
Music Direction & Songwriting
Music direction for television and live formats, song selection, arrangement decisions, lyric writing and adaptation across languages.
International Positioning
Deciding which markets are worth an artist's time, then building the relationships, the material and the timing that make an entry credible rather than opportunistic.
Eurovision Song Contest
Three cycles, three different jobs.
Eurovision is not one skill. Writing a French adaptation, guiding an artist through a national selection and preparing someone for the stage in May are separate problems with separate people to convince.
2025
Yuval Raphael, Israel
Artist guidance on the route from The Next Star through to
the Eurovision Song Contest 2025. Credited on the entry “New Day Will Rise”.
2013
Moran Mazor, Israel
Lyric adaptation of the French version of the Eurovision entry
“Only for You”.
2012
Junior Eurovision
Creative work on the French version connected with the 2012
Junior Eurovision project.
The focus now is the German-speaking market. Germany runs the largest recorded music economy in Europe and has a Eurovision culture with real institutional memory behind it, from the Ralph Siegel era through to the current SWR selection. For an artist with an international story to tell, there is no more interesting room in Europe to be working in.
Artists & collaborations
The names on the door.
Management, development, songwriting and creative guidance. The shape of each collaboration differs, and the artists page says plainly which is which.

Songwriting and creative work
International
A career assembled across borders.
Training in Paris. Songwriting in French. Live projects in Europe, including Berlin. Performance work in Canada and the Philippines. Festival juries around the Mediterranean. None of it was a grand plan, and all of it turned out to be the same skill.
Europe
Paris & Berlin
Music management and strategy studied at IMM Paris, French-language songwriting for two Eurovision projects, and live work in Europe including Berlin.
Beyond
Canada & the Philippines
Live performance and professional activity in two markets with very different relationships to pop music, which is a useful thing to have felt first hand.
International performance details are presented as professional biography information supplied by the artist.
A career starts with identity. Then strategy, repertoire and performance all have to point the same way.Tamir Hitman
