There is a shake up happening in Lady Gaga's camp. The singer and longtime manager Troy Carter who was recruited by Vince Herbert, President of Gaga's label, have decided to part ways. Troy Carter who also managers teen boy band Mindless Behavior and crooner John Legend to name a few, says he feels liberated to be relieved of his Gaga managing duties. In addition to artist management, Troy Carter is also a heavy investor in Technology.
An in-demand speaker on the tech and music industry conference circuit, Carter would often describe their relationship as a simple matter of balancing creative and business decisions -- she makes 95 percent of the creative calls, while he handles five percent; He makes 95 percent of the business decisions, and she five. Their strategy clearly worked seeing as, together, Gaga, Carter and Herbert launched an international phenomenon who has sold upwards of 20 million albums worldwide.source›› billboard
