Basic Artist Management Contract For Music Artist In Hennepin

Q: What is the basic music manager contract?

Managers typically receive 15% to 20% of the artist&#039;s gross earnings (before any expenses are deducted), but this figure can vary from contract to contract. For example, a manager might start at 20% and decrease his or her cut to 15% after a period of time or once the artist achieves a certain level in their career.

Q: What is the typical commission for an artist manager?

Managers&#039; commissions are typically between 15 to 20% of an artist&#039;s gross income. Whether it&#039;s 15% or 20% really depends on the level of the band and the bargaining power of each party. I&#039;ve seen some net deals, but they are extremely rare. That being said, I always push for a net commission on merchandise.
