It is ideal for anyone who is interested in seeking out a record deal or is already considering one.
– Musicians: If you are making music, and considering a record deal, please watch this class!

– Bands: Maybe you are considering avoiding record labels, and starting your own independent label. This class is for you, too!
– Curious Minds: Anyone interested in how record labels work is invited to be a part of this class.
We will start with traditional record label deals, and progress forward to talking about more modern deals. We will talk a lot about the “need” for a record deal in the modern age, and how you can get by without one at all. I’ll walk you through every issue in the contract so you fully understand what is being asked.
The goal of this class is for you to understand what is in-between the lines of the contract.
