The topic that I will discuss in my blog is things to
consider with contracts between the artists and manager. When it comes to
contracts between the artist and manager, there are a lot of things to
consider. One of the things to consider is the type of agreement you will have
between the two. The first thing to come up with is to see what the
responsibilities the manager will be responsible for. Meaning marketing the
artist, making sure the artist image is up to date, as well as make sure that
the artist has the publicity they need.
The second thing that needs to be decided between the artist
and the manager is how long the contract will last between the two. It is
important to make sure you go over how long the artist wants to have the
manager as his/her manager. For example you can sign a two year agreement and
after that contract is up, you can decide if you want to keep that person as a
manager or not.
The third thing that needs to be decided in the contract is
how much the manager will get paid. When it comes to paying managers it usually
range from 10-20 percent. As well, need to decide what will the manager get a
cut for meaning, do the manager get percentage for record sales, merchandise,
recording, tours, etc. These are all the things to take in consideration when
coming up with a contract between the artist and manager.
The fourth thing that needs to be decided in a contract is
the sunset clause between the two. The sunset clause allows the artist to
protect their selves in case they want to break the contract with the manager
because they are not happy. Without the sunset clause, the artist would have no
power and will be forced to stay in a contract.
In conclusion, these are the things to think about when
coming up with a contract between artists and managers. There is a lot more
things to go over when it comes to contracts, but these are the most important
ones when coming up with a contract.
