FAQ

Managers typically receive 15% to 20% of the artist'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.

How long is a normal artist manager contract? The standard length of the management contract is three years but it can vary from 2 to 5 years on a case by case basis. Most contracts also include a "Sunset" clause.

Short-term contracts, often lasting one to three years, are more prevalent for young performers or those just starting. Long-term agreements, which can be five to ten years long or longer, are only offered to more seasoned musicians or those with a successful track record.

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.

Record contracts typically state their duration as a requirement for the artist to make an initial recording within a certain time frame (often one year), followed by successive one-year (or occasionally multi-year) options to extend the contract for up to seven total albums for a total of seven years.

How to create a Music Recording Contract Step 1: Specify where you're creating the Music Recording Contract. Step 2: Provide the recording company's and artist's details.
