An artist-agent agreement is formed between a professional artist and an agent who is capable of looking after the business aspect of the artist’s career. The agency so formed is proven beneficial to both the parties looking into the recent times of competitiveness where the artist does not require just to be a fine performer, but also be open to and efficient in promotions and exposure in the market with an aim to reach the maximum audience. It is seen that artists who are unable to take due care of these aspects, suffer in the long run or may not even have a career of a long run.
