PROGRAM DESCRIPTION:
With major changes in recording agreements over the past three years, multiple rights or so-called "360 deals" have become
more common. In this latest installment of NARIP's "Art of the Music Deal" series, two top music business attorneys and an
artist manager face off in a live negotiation of key deal points and contractual issues that affect an artist's rights and
income, and a record company's ability to acquire and monetize additional rights.
These experts come together to give you the inside track on major deal points, what they mean and what leverage you have to
negotiate the best possible deal.
Most people think they can just hand a negotiation to a lawyer, and leave it at that. But as a professional, you need to be
aware of the process and deal points, too, and what the short- and long-term implications to your artists' careers may be.
Most importantly, you will see HOW a 360 deal is negotiated and be involved in the process.
Get educated about the art of deal-making!
THIS PROGRAM COVERS
The eight (8) major areas of negotiation for record deals:
1. Artist advance / recording fund
