It’s May 1, National College Decision Day, the day high school seniors commit to a college.
Whether or not you ever dreamed of college or know someone that does, the limiting beliefs around what “going to college” represents are so ubiquitous, you can’t help but feel the weight of their impact on so many kids – and their parents. Especially this time of year.
Unfortunately, I’ve recently been reminded about the predatory behavior of some in the music industry. Quite regularly, artists reach out to me for my opinion on an agreement offered, a private message they received on Instagram, or something someone said to them that confused them. So I decided to put together a list of some common “red flags” that you should be aware of that can help you make better decisions. Of course, you should never sign an agreement without having a music attorney WORKING FOR YOU (meaning, they have YOUR best interest in mind and not the other party) look it over for you or make a decision without at least having a consultation with one. Did that make sense? In other words, hire a music attorney before agreeing or signing anything. And also, I am not an attorney so these are just my own opinions and thoughts.
