As artists, producers, and managers, we are so consumed with finding the right track, writing the hottest song, and finding the next big mega star that we overlook the importance of learning the business of music. There are still bogus contracts being signed and people still are being taken advantage of because we want that instant fame and we will sign anything sight unseen. It's time that we step our knowledge game up...learn the business of music. Read books, read blogs, or anything that will expand your knowledge and open your eyes. Attend music conferences where panelists come in and discuss the music business. Purchase music related books such as "All You Need to Know about the Music Business" by Donald S. Passman. If you have the means, consult an attorney to get the low down on music contracts. Personally, I have purchased books that contain some basic music contracts that people who aren't legal eagles can understand. With that said, I am posting a link to a performance agreement(contract) that someone may find useful..for Free of course. Enjoy!!
