Michael Hausman

An engaging, high level discussion on the state of the music business from the prospective of an, artist, management, indie record label executive and digital expert.

Michael Hausman, artist manager, co-founder of SuperEgo Records and United Musicians has had a long and varied career in the music business.
In 1984, Michael and his group ‘Til Tuesday had a Billboard top 10 hit with the song and video “Voices Carry”. The band, featuring Aimee Mann, went on to record three albums for Epic records earning an MTV Best New Artist award, multiple gold records and numerous other distinctions. It was from this vantage point that Michael learned his first lesson about the music business.
In the early 1990’s Michael moved on to producing and artist management – he currently looks after Aimee Mann, Michael Penn, Erik Sanko, Skeleton Key and Pete Droge.
In 1999, Michael and artist Aimee Mann founded their own independent label, Superego Records and released Mann’s LP “Bachelor #2”. This record received the AFIM’s Independent Album of The Year Award and became Mann’s most successful solo release to date.
Bolstered by the success of Superego Records, Michael formed United Musicians; a coalition of artists united by an independent spirit and like-minded ethos. Bob Mould (Husker Du, Sugar) will be United Musician’s first release in 2002.
Michael Hausman serves on several boards affiliated with musicianship, management and independence as well as being a tireless artist’s advocate.
He studied music at Berklee College of Music and musicology at Tufts University.
