If you paid the manager, you would issue the 1099 to the manager as that is who you made the payment to. The manager would then be responsible for issuing the 1099 to the artist based upon the amount the manager paid to the artist.
Please see the IRS instructions for Form 1099-MISC and 1099-NEC for more details.
