Got a Record Deal? Helping you to avoid the royalty traps

As an Artist taking your first steps into the music world you probably can't afford a music contracts lawyer to advise you on the contract your record label may put to you.

A record deal can look promising at the start but in the cold light of day, it may not be as lucrative as you first thought when you were courted by your label.

Let us take a look at your contract and negotiate it on your behalf under our Budding Artist Fixed Fee Scheme. This means that you get a firm quote to get you on the road to stardom and one which is not going to eat into your royalties for the next 5 years.

You'll be guided through all the traps in a recording deal and those hidden things that get you to sign your career away.

Top 5 questions you frequently ask:

• How much will I get?
• Will I get an advance?
• What do you mean they own my image?
• I wrote the song can I keep it?
• I borrowed that sample, it's OK isn't it?

Got a Manager?

If you're thinking of taking on a manager, talk to us first. We can commit your relationship to writing rather than advising you to enter into this important relationship on a handshake. After all, you don't want to be stuck with a Manager who isn't progressing your career do you?
