Hello Guys, Girls and Others,
Today I will be discussing the need for Artist Education. Today’s artist can not afford to be one Dimensional and just focus on their craft. I really want to fly into outer space, but it would probably be ill advised to just learn one aspect of spaceflight huh? I am not going to go into the particular, but I will point out a few things.
Publishing: The quickest way to be broke when you get older and you can come up with any new hits. Take the case of the Legendary George Clinton. He hasnt seen a penny from his smash hit “Atomic Dog” in over 20 years. The reason he was tricked into signing over his publishing.
Management: It’s great to have a management team behind you, but you need to make sure that you have some say in the spends. Example: If you management company is able to spend any amount of money in regarding you and/or project without your consent you will never see any of the money they book. You will be responsible for paying them their 20% plus any money they fronted. If they money goes un checked you could owe more to your management company then your record label.
Name and Likeness: Who owns your brand and who says a say in you in your brand? If you dont know you in trouble. If the label or management can stick your face on anything and everything the will. On the flip side, if you have to get permission to use your own name and likeness how does that help you.
If I get enough comments. I will make this a weekly feature. If I dont then I wont.
2010 for the win.
