Basic Artist Management Contract For Music Artist In Ohio

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.
