FAQ

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.

Often, an institution, organization or gallery will have its own template for agreements and will provide the artist with a contract to be reviewed and signed. On the other hand, if you are commissioned for a private artwork, for example, you might need to draw up and provide your own contract.

Typical commission rates for art galleries range anywhere between 30% and 60%, with the industry average being 50%.

As a general rule, managers take a percentage of all income generated by the artist in exchange for their management services. Commission rates typically range from 15-25% of the artist's gross income from: Recording royalties: Sales, streaming and licensing of recorded music.

If you're a musician looking for a music manager, consider following these steps: Develop your music. Create recordings. Explore your network. Contact agencies and managers. Continue to promote your music. Meet and discuss your career goals. Negotiate and sign a contract.

If you've been handling everything on your own and are hitting a wall getting past the proverbial industry waiting room, it might be time to hire a manager. A manager must constantly work at managing your own expectations and goals, while expanding your base of industry relationships, experience and knowledge.

What Percentage Do They Make? The most common, or easiest gauging point for management percentage, at least in North America, is 15 to 20% of gross artist revenue. I personally don't know of anyone who charges 15% of gross but I have heard through the industry that some people do. I personally hear of 20% more often.
