Hey FP fam - I have a general question for people who may have Record Label Staff Producer Agreements.
I already have two lawyers looking over a contract I was given since I am a musician and computer geek - not a lawyer, and the verbiage is confusing. But, from my initial reviews of the contract so that I can present the lawyers my questions I am wondering if certain agreements are standard.
Is it normal/unheardof (or even would you personally agree):
1. To grant exclusive rights to the Company all of your works whether they are just started or completely mastered?
2. To grant the complete right to distribute my name/likeness for promo in regards to the Company's biographical materials with my approval?
3. To receive 2/3's (two-thirds) of fees and/or advances related to amounts received by the Company?
I'm on Page 4 and these are just a few of the questions I've already come up with, but would appreciate any knowledge from the community regarding their experiences and dealings as a Record Label Staff Producer.
