Contracts are needed and required dealing in the music business especially in hip hop and r&b. Make sure both parties understand the aggreement laid forth. Contracts bind both parties to hold up their side of the deal. When dealing with performances, and management music business contracts or needed.
Many promoters love to secure artists for performance dates. They give the city a false since of hope by not paying a deposit or securing a contract for the artists. In my current city there has been numerous show ups and numerous no shows. The show ups are GREAT but the no shows are Terrible. Always secure a contract when performing or booking an artist.
Managers are required a percentage of your earnings ranging from 15% and up now this percentage needs to be agreed upon between the artist and the manager. Many get ripped off both artists and beginner managers by not having a contract to determine earnings. Get a contract.
