Manager Artist Contract

In the music business, it is common for an artist to hire a personal manager. Artist contract terms related to management must be agreed upon and put into writing and signed by both the manager and artist. Contract terms generally include the duties, rights, and responsibilities of both parties. The manager's salary or method of payment should be addressed in a manager artist contract. In some cases, a manager may waive fees until the artist gets a record deal. Once a deal is secured, the manager will be repaid for his or her efforts in securing the deal. Other expenses related to artist management should also be addressed in a manager artist contract. A contract may specify how and when expense statements should be submitted to the artist, and approval may be required for expenses over a set dollar amount. Travel expenses related to artist management may also be addressed. An attorney with experience in entertainment contract law should review a manager artist contract to ensure that it is valid and fair to both parties.
