The music industry has long been based around intellectual property licensing and collaborations, which often require contracts and agreements. Unfortunately, this has led to many situations where artists get tied into long-term contracts with unfavourable conditions. Many big-name musicians, including The Rolling Stones, The Jackson 5, Prince, Lil Wayne, and Kanye West, have been in similar situations. But it doesn't have to be this way.

Artists and managers can prevent these situations by knowing what is "normal" or "standard" in the industry and what should be avoided in any agreements they sign. Join us for a panel at the upcoming music conference, where industry professionals will share practical knowledge on preventing bad deals and navigating the music industry on your own terms.
