Michael Hausman

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Michael Hausman is an American percussionist and artist manager in the music industry.

He was a former student of Berklee College of Music and played with a Boston band called The Dark before becoming the drummer for the mid-1980s New Wave band 'Til Tuesday; the group's biggest hit, Voices Carry, is said to have been inspired by an argument between Hausman and bandmate/former girlfriend Aimee Mann.

He later became a manager, representing Mann and other artists, including Michael Penn and Pete Droge. Hausman, along with Mann and Penn, founded the independent music collective United Musicians, which is based on the principle that every artist should be able to retain copyright ownership of the work he or she has created.
