What do we do?
The music industry is complicated. Some of the things you do are risky because the industry is risky. Success is hard. It’s even harder if you are taking risks and you don’t even know what they are. We can help. We offer insights into a variety of music industry agreements. Sign up for our newsletter for weekly tips.
But we’re more than that. If you’re thinking about working with an artist manager, visit our Management Agreement page for information about our video course and an app that will screen your management agreement for important risks.
We’re also hard at work on other video series and expanding our app to review other kinds of agreements. So stay tuned for more as we grow. Meanwhile, educate yourself with our free resources. It’s your career. Take good care of it.
Note: Music Deal Awareness is an educational platform designed to help artists understand the structure of their agreements. It does not provide legal advice or create an attorney-client relationship. By using this platform, you understand that AI bots make mistakes, and the results you receive may contain errors. The results are intended to educate you about how management deals work and should not be relied upon to make career decisions. Always seek legal advice before signing any agreement.
