[h=2]Hello everyone![/h]
Recently I had the chance of meeting a well-known artist and that person asked me if I could produce a song for him (no contract for it). He liked it and even said it could be a hit. Now they have pre-recorded the song with small changes and are offering this pre-agreement: lyrics: 60% (for me) 40% (for him) music: 70% (for me) 30% (for him)
It seems they want the publishing rights and obviously I am an unknown artist/producer and he is internationally famous so I am going to be able to say that I’ve worked for them, but… Will I see enough money from this agreement? Are they trying to take advantage from me? Does the money come from the publishing rights? Should I keep a percentage of the publishing rights?
Thank you very much for your help guys.
