An Artist Management Agreement is used by a personal manager to contract with a recording and performing musical artist to set the terms for managing the artist's career. The manager receives a percentage of all the income generated by the artist for the management services provided.
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.
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.
Signatures. It's generally required for all parties to sign the contract. While some verbal agreements are enforceable in Nevada, written contracts with signatures provide the strongest legal protection.
Managers generally take, on average, 10-15 percent commission. Fifteen percent is considered higher- end compensation in the industry. This should be clearly spelled out in your agreement with your personal manager.
