Raymond,

You find that the music business is a very compartmentalized business. Booking agents generally just book acts or artists into live gigs. Managers and agents take a percentage of the artists earning. Publishers are the ones who pitch songs and use song pluggers usually to do that. Songwriters usually work with a publisher and many times have their own song pluggers as well.

It is kind of like everything that is done has it's own set of rules, protocals and politics. Usually when you are involved in one, you don't have a lot of time for the other ones.
