You can kill zombies, kick the winning goal in the premier league, fly into space via your own home made rocket ship and now with video gaming entering the next frontier, manage your own producer to stardom?…. I thought that was a real life thing? Hmmmm must be popular!

Yep, the UK music industry trade body and the Intellectual Property Office have teamed up on a video game project titled ‘Music Inc.’ The premise of the game is the same to what the real day job entails, minus you actually making any real world money. You will be responsible for selecting an aspiring artist and then helping them shape their image, choose songwriters, producers, studio technicians and labels as well as manage their dolla dolla bills/accounts.

The developers are talking big in terms of addictive game play but in all honesty this could be a good lesson for a student at school in financial management and decision making. Alternatively if you are just up for kicking a few peoples asses then you should go download Kavinsky’s IOS/Android game here!

Music Inc. will be available for free on iOS and Android devices in February! Is artist management the new DJing?
