Description

It’s important that the business arrangement between a manager and their client (artist, musician, songwriter, producer, engineer, etc) be put into writing and signed by both parties in the form of an artist management contract or music manager agreement.
Even though disasters cannot always be avoided, obligations can be made much clearer and responsibilities more easily understood with the presence of a written artist management agreement. Before you get an attorney to draft a contract for you, however, you should first take stock of what you are prepared to do with and for an artist and what you expect out of the relationship.

A “360” as it's called in the industry, is an exclusive contract between a label and an artist. In a 360 deal, a recording label not only takes a share of the artist's music sales, but also percentages of revenue from other ventures, such as concerts, merchandise, television appearances, or publishing.

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.

The revenue is generally split between the label and the artists, but prominent artists may be able to arrange exclusive or preferential contracts. This option may not always be available for artists of lesser stature. On average, record labels take between 50 and 90 percent of what an artist or band makes.

Most musicians do not get a record deal for several reasons: High Competition: The music industry is highly competitive, with countless artists vying for attention. Labels receive thousands of demos and submissions, making it difficult for any single artist to stand out.

While getting signed before your first song drops is challenging, focusing on building your brand, creating quality content, and networking can significantly increase your chances. Remember that many successful artists started out independently before signing to a label, so stay open to different paths. Good luck!

If your music quality is on par with the top artists currently signed, you still have a 1 in 100 chance to be signed to a top independent record label or 1% chance.
