tell me what you think about this contract i use when i sell beats for cheap. $100 or so.

I'm not a lawyer...although I'm well versed in this area...basically your contract is an ok unsigned artist contract....Definately do this:

5. RELEASE OF RIGHTS: Producer will release all copyrights of master instrumental to Artist in exchanged for a one time payment (to be negotiated at time release of rights) of not less than One Thousand Dollars ($1000.00) and not more than Ten Thousand Dollars ($10,000.00) and guaranteed co-production credit on any release of the master instrumental. Producer will receive zero royalties.

Take out the last portion so the statement reads like this

5. RELEASE OF RIGHTS: Producer will release all copyrights of master instrumental to Artist in exchanged for a one time payment to be negotiated at time release of rights.


That artist could sign a major deal with the efforts of your music and recording so don't give away anything for peanuts....You'll negotiate the price at that time...Don't put a cap their and don't say you won't recieve any royalties....Let the situation dictate what the fair price is....the sentence doesn't need to be their and it can only hurt you--so my advice is take it out.....


I would add that if the artist does sign a major recording contract do to the efforts of your work...you reserve the right to the production of at least 1 of their songs off their first album....

Because most likely they won't use any of their demo material on their album........so you won't be recieving any credit of working with that artist under your deal



hope this helps
