A manager takes care of the business, administrative and/or career side of an artist. The manager has the overall responsibility for the artist's career running as it should. They take care of administrative tasks, contracts, marketing, sales, networking, booking appointments, concerts, interviews, media appearances, etc. The manager's finest task is to make sure that the artist can focus on their own profession, namely making music.
There are different types of managers, all of whom play different roles for the artist - Business Managers, Personal Managers, Product Managers and SoMe Managers. As a starting point, the financial relationship between manager and artist is based on a commission of the income that accrues to the artist from the collaboration agreements that the manager has entered into. It is typical for managers to get 10-25% of the artist's income.
