How does pricing work?
Each Artist is an independent business with their own costs, so the Artists to determine their own rates and we keep track of those costs and the factors that affect them. We then add our 15% commission to calculate the total cost. All contracts have a $50 processing fee which is added separately.
Here is an example of a typical contract breakdown:
$500.00 - Artist Fee
$88.24. - Agency Fee
$50.00. - Contract Processing
$638.24. - Total Cost
What do I need in order to be represented by Luxe 40?
We recommend all Artists and musicians who want to be represented by Luxe 40 prepare a few very important items. Here is a checklist for anyone interesting in registering:
1. Press Photos (at least 5)
2. Promo Video (2-5 minutes long)
3. Prepare at least 60 minutes of music.
4. Setup a social media account.
5. Figure out your costs and set a price
Once an Artist or musician has gotten these items together, we encourage them to register with our agency, which you can do now if you like.
What makes this agency different from other agencies?
From an economical perspective, we are able to save clients money and improve the quality of performances but ensuring Artists are paid in full while we only take 15% commission, which is relatively low by comparison in our industry.
Most agencies take their commissions from the Artist's pay -as Artists ourselves, we like to think it's best if Artists can retain all of their compensation. We really care about our Artists and we want to see them succeed. Part of that success is paying them their worth. So they set their rates and we only present them with bookings that can meet that standard.
