The 'Business' of Music?

The ‘Business’ of music and its manufacturing/creative results is just that a ‘Business’ and if it is not treated as such your business will fail and you will receive no income, no credit, no proof of your involvement in what could be an International ‘Hit’ single or album.

You can spend years and thousands of pounds in legal fees attempting to claim back something that if you had followed our suggestions in the first place you would have no need for us or any other legal firm.

Attention to detail and procedures are as important as having the ability to write, produce and perform a commercial ‘Hit’ single.

Having ‘worked’ in so many varied positions from songwriter, singer, producer, arranger, record executive and music publisher I can honestly say I have fallen foul of almost every negative situation possible within the industry simply because I have refused to take advice from my elders and betters on the misguided notion that I knew better. It is for these very reasons that I have spent many years interpreting the contents of all forms of agreements: Publishing, Management, Recording, Licensing, Distribution Agreements and endeavour to offer our new and existing clients a professional perspective to their individual matters.

The music industry is one of the most beautiful, exciting, challenging, creative industries there is and with the right team supporting you; Legal, Management, Music Publishing, A+R you can have the times of your life creating music to share with the masses. You can have opportunities you would never have dreamed of and see places that you could only wish to see.

Decisions need to be taken slowly and with full well informed advice at all time. Pick you team and listen but never be afraid to question anything that doesn’t feel right or you feel is not in your own personal best interests. You are the reason that people like us seek out people like you and why Managers want to manage you and Music Publishers want to publish your material.

That first ‘hit’ single can give you access to a great many doors of opportunity. It is down to you to choose the right ones for you and your career.
