recording agreements

Recording agreements are contracts between an artist and a record label that specify the terms for producing, distributing, and promoting the artist’s music. They outline rights, responsibilities, and financial arrangements, including royalties, advances, and ownership of recordings. These agreements ensure both parties understand their roles and expectations, helping to protect the interests of the artist while enabling the label to support and commercialize the music. Essentially, it’s a formal plan that defines how the artist’s work will be created, shared, and compensated within the music industry.
