Having a music manager is not always necessary. In fact, until you have built a name for yourself, you don't need a manager. Managers that approach you before you can be considered a sound investment may not be looking out for your interests. They're just trying to get a few bucks off a struggling artist.

Managers' commissions are typically between 15 to 20% of an artist's gross income. Whether it's 15% or 20% really depends on the level of the band and the bargaining power of each party. I've seen some net deals, but they are extremely rare. That being said, I always push for a net commission on merchandise.
