Legal Question in Entertainment Law in California
Music Artist Management Agreement
If I signed a 5 year contract with a
Manager two months ago and I
have got myself in the door at a label
is there a way to exit my contract?
The Manager promised to invest a
large sum of money to further develop
me but I have had to pay for
everyhing and feel as though this
manager will benefit from all my hard
work and has not held up their end of
what we verbally agreeded on.

Sometimes the written contract will have a provision that the contract can not be amended or changed except in writing and signed by both parties. So without reading the contract, it is difficult to know. Are there any written terms of the contract that the manager may have breached? If not, you or someone else may have to buy out the manager's contract interest. www.lawbarron.com

It is possible that can terminate your management agreement, but you need to have an attorney review that agreement to advise you of exactly what your options and liabilities are. There's simply no way to tell, as a matter of law, from the information you've given.
Please contact me directly if I may be of assistance!

Re: Music Artist Management Agreement
It really depends on the contract, and the exact factual circumstances.
There's no substitute here for having an attorney review the contract, talk with you, and advise you.
There may be ways out, but contracts are made to be binding, so unless the manager has engaged in some wrongdoing, or otherwise breached the agreement, it'll be a challenge.
