FAQ
I would say that having a manager is a necessity when the artist is established enough and is dealing with high fees, lots of press and crazy tour schedules. This is where having a manager is absolutely vital.
Some musicians find their managers by calling or contacting agencies or managers directly. You can research managers in your genre or area by browsing online music groups. Many managers list their contact information on their website or provide instructions for submitting a musical sample.
Look for Managers with Experience: Find managers who have a track record of working with artists in your genre. Check References: Seek recommendations from other artists or industry contacts. Review Their Roster: Look at the artists they currently manage to see if they align with your style and goals.
If you're contacting them through social media, you'll need to write a small pitch. To attract potential managers, you need to prove yourself and your demand through live performances and online presence. Potential managers look for artists who show promise and have a clear vision for their career.

When you have good relationships then simply just ask them if they know any managers that might be willing to work with you.

I've seen some net deals, but they are extremely rare. That being said, I always push for a net commission on merchandise.
