Music Artist Agreement Contract Example

A music agreement contract may either be between an artist and a recording company or a band and its management. Whatever the collaboration is, the basic elements of a music agreement contract are the same with any artist collaboration that involves talent, its commercial benefits, and the percentage for everyone involved that need to cash in on the proceeds. In its basic format and just like any other contracts, a music agreement contract is a document that is a legally binding agreement between representatives of a recording label and the artist or group. The artist involved is tasked with making the music while the recording label is tasked with selling the song or the album.Promotion of such songs may involve the artist to do mall tours and play select cuts of his music for free to entice the audience to buy or download the song for a fee. Radio stations may also be approached to promote the artist and the song plus a few playing gigs determined by the representatives of the music label to gain maximum impact on the audience share.

Artists under such contracts are bound to record only for that label exclusively. All other appearances and performances should carry the name of the label. In return for all kinds of promotion, the record company usually gets a percentage of all sales including merchandise that promote the artist. There have been a lot of instances wherein artists would have a falling out of their record labels and want to opt out of their contracts but cannot do anything since they are still bound by their contracts. For this reason, it is very important for an artist to carefully read the details of the contract in order to fully understand what he is entering into.For other kinds of contract agreements, please check more on our website or click on the links for examples of Sample Contract Agreements and Subcontractor Agreements that are all free to download for users who need to use these kinds of agreements.
