FAQ
There are 6 basic types of agreements that songwriters sign with a music publisher. They are the Individual Song Agreement, the Exclusive Songwriter's Agreement, the Co-Publishing Agreement, the Participation Agreement, the Administration Agreement and the Foreign Sub-Publishing Agreement.
How To Get A Songwriting Staff Writing Deal Get to know music publishers organically. Co-write with signed writers. Do your homework. Use everything you do well to your advantage. The fastest way to get a songwriting staff writing deal is by writing great songs.
Under the exclusive agreement, the songwriter agrees to assign all compositions written during a specified term (for example, 2 years from January 1 or 1 year with four options), with the guarantee of a share of the income generated and usually a proviso for weekly or monthly payments.
Out of all of the types of music contracts, co-publishing (co-pub) agreements are the most frequently used. Under this agreement, the music publishing company and the artist are partners, and both parties co-own the copyrights to the music. Terms can vary widely, but a 50/50 split is common.
Producer shall own and control Fifty Percent (50%) of the so-called “Writer's Share” of the underlying composition. Producer shall own, control, and administer One Hundred Percent (100%) of the so-called “Publisher's Share” of the underlying composition.
A songwriter split sheet is a written agreement that identifies all contributors to a song as well as their ownership percentages of that song. These ownership percentages determine how publishing royalties will be "split" between creators. When all parties sign, split sheets become legally binding.
When should you use a split sheet? You should use a split sheet every time you write a song with one or more other people in the room. You should put down everyone's information immediately before or after every co-write, then sign it.
This gave me a really good rough idea of how much writing I would need to do. But the Lyric Triad changes all that. It gives you a bullseye to write for and flips the 80/20 rule: 80 percent of your writing will make the cut while 20 percent will go into the waste basket.
Your Music Recording Contract should cover details like: Compensation and royalties. Where and when the album will be recorded. The album's release date. Who has creative control over specific elements of the album. The termination clause. The exclusive agreement clause. Dispute resolution. Promotional appearances.
