COLLABORATION AND CO-WRITER AGREEMENTS: WHAT THEY MEAN AND HOW THEY WORK

1/30/2019

0 Comments

 
Under the copyright law, an author or creator owns a copyright in his or her work the moment it is "fixed in a tangible medium" (i.e., the moment the expression of an idea is written down or recorded in some manner). When it comes to the recorded music business there are two primary copyrights of interest: one in the musical composition or song; another in the sound recording of that song. A copyright extends for the life of an author plus 70 years, and in the case of collaborators on a copyright it extends for the life of the last surviving collaborator plus 70 years.

ENTERTAINMENT LAWYERS: WHO? WHAT? WHEN? WHERE? & HOW MUCH?!

1/26/2019

1 Comment

 
As an artist or creator in the entertainment industry you do not need to know everything about the business in order to succeed, but you should hire people who do. When I was a teenage recording artist, I can remember being intimidated by the "suits". Now that I am on the other side of the desk, I have a broader perspective. I am here to tell you that those "suits" can help you; provided, however, that like any other aspect of your life, you use your instincts in making your selection.

HOW TO PITCH YOUR MUSIC

There are a lot of people approaching me or respond to my approach for either publishing their music or using their demos for pitching to the bigger names in the industry. I can say about 40% of the demos are receive are okay in sense of professionalism but the other 60% usually have some sort of issue which makes the project to don't move forward. Here I list down some of the common issues and the solutions for them. 

Decide what you want. Before sending your track or your demos to a publisher or a producer, make sure at least you know what you want, and it would be even much better if also be open for their suggestions too. When you are sending them a demo, do you something in mind? If you had the power to get the song in whatever direction that you wanted, what would you do with it? All these and things like these are what you need to prepare before sending your demos out. Don't be confusing and don't make people confused. At the end of the day, this is your project and you want it to move forward, right?

PATIENCE!

1/18/2019

0 Comments

 
Being a musician comes at a cost. An expensive cost that would never be paid back until you actually make it at least to a certain point in music industry. It's your time. It’s your energy. It’s your life you are spending on it. This industry is opposite of what many dream. It’s not that Disney world that you enter and from first day you are walking on the red carpet! This is music industry for God’s sake. You need to work harder than you can imagine and you need to learn very well on how to deal with rejections.

SONGWRITERS WHO ARE DREAMERS

1/16/2019

0 Comments

 
Through years of working at Flipside, I met a vast array of people wanting to become professional songwriters. People of all ages, races, backgrounds and economic situations, most of whom would love to achieve some degree of commercial success with their music. As a student of people and a guy in love with studying psychology, I have studied what causes some people to succeed and others who are equally talented to fail in that quest.

YOUNG ARTISTS WITH ATTITUDE

1/12/2019

0 Comments

 
Few days ago, a singer friend messaged me and asked, “As a producer, what are you looking for in an artist?”. His question was actually very hard yet very easy to answer! I, same as most other producers, managers, labels and promoters, are looking for fresh talents with proper attitude. Here is why:
At least when it comes to Entertainment industry, when they say one is having some "attitude" problems, it is not only limited to being arrogant or ignorant or full of themselves, but it also includes issues such as bad time management, lack of commitment, not having a good common sense and in general anything that would make a person not very lovely! Remember, it’s entertainment. If you want to be shitty, and you can’t entertain even yourself to be a good person, how do you want to successfully entertain your listeners?

HOW TO RESOLVE SPLIT DISPUTES IN SONGWRITING

1/5/2019

0 Comments

 
Today's international music industry is extremely dynamic. Such a large and evolving industry comes with questions of song contribution, so how do you determine who created what? Two words: Split Sheets.
It is extremely common for songwriters to collaborate with other co-writers to create new pieces. Many songwriters are left unpaid as a result of split disputes when co-writers cannot agree on split portions. The performing rights organization and record company involved will withhold royalties for a song if a dispute involving ownership arises.

Sennheiser Momentum Review

1/2/2019

0 Comments

 
Here is a general fact I think we all can agree on, which is “in-ear headphones can deliver awesome sound” simply because of their design. And they are considered as great for daily use due to their small designs and mobility. But many of us might not be aware of just how good they can be because we insist on using the cheap sets included with our smartphones and never find the time - or money - for an upgrade. But the thing here is that most of the time these headphones don't have to cost a fortune, yet they will deliver that great sound which you need to hear! These little guys can achieve an ideal sound isolation from the outside world and stop what you're listening to from spilling out.
