I finished reading this book today; I really found it to have a wealth of information and it was such an easy read.  The thing I liked the most about the book was that it covered artist contracts. It explained some of the things that you should know as an artist before you sign a contract with a record label.  There is also a section in the book about taxes, partnerships, collaborations, publishing, and copyrighting your music.  I would really recommend this book if you want to know more about the business side of music.  It's not a technical book, so it doesn't go into great detail but it gives you a lot of information to get started.

There is a link at the top of the page for your convenience if you would like to purchase this book.  Right now it's listed on Amazon for $27.99, so it's very affordable.  As always information is power, be informed.  I am Lady PJ.

Exclusive Rights to a beat/track

What does "exclusive rights" mean?


  • This gives the music artist sole ownership of the beat, and unlimited use of it as well. The producer cannot sell this beat/track to anybody else and must take it down from any selling sites. Make sure that all copyrights to the beat are properly transfered to you and all usage restrictions are lifted. This allows you to use the beat in any way you see fit. You should be given a signed "transfer of ownership" agreement from the producer or beatmaker.
