FAQ
Record Labels are the providers for the artist. They help establish presence on social media, provide the studio sessions, the tours, the buses, the social media followers, etc. They help promote the artist's music so it can reach a larger audience.
A common split of the profit is an equal 50/50 split between the label and artist, but a higher split may be agreed in favour of either party. The label will traditionally cover all or most costs upfront.
Ok, good. This week, major labels banded together to unveil a revolutionary new type of record deal: the 720 deal. It follows the same basic principles as the 360 deal, but with one groundbreaking twist: record labels are now also allowed to take a cut out of the incomes of family members of signed musicians.
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.
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.
How to get signed by a record label Define your sound. Build your online presence. Release high-quality music. Develop your industry network. Submit your music. Music managers and music lawyers.
Education: Considering music managers are responsible for all the legal and business aspects of an artist's career, they usually must have a bachelor's degree in the music business (or business in general). Several schools offer music management or business management degrees.
Owners/CEO. The owner or CEO of a record label is the highest authority in the company. This person is responsible for the overall operation of the record label and makes all of the final decisions.
This is a senior position at a record label, often answering directly to the label executives. There are no particular educational requirements to work as a label manager, although significant project management experience within the record industry is a necessity.
