The Business of Music

Performers are artists. Artists love to create. However,  there comes a point when music artistry and commerce come together. When your big break comes, will you know what questions to ask and what to look out for? For instance, what's the difference between a producer and a manager from a money point of view? Do you know what it means for you fiscally when you sign with a record label? If you are a singer-songwriter, have you copyrighted your songs? Do you know how to copyright your original music and songs? What happens when you sample from another artist alive or dead? Who do you pay and how do you get permission?

The road to musical fame is paved with the stories of major artists who have filed for bankruptcy or lost their songs due to unscrupulous management or labels. What can you do to gain knowledge and protect yourself and your dreams of music fame? That's what Dawnettte's Dream Express is talking about. Hop on and get hip to the business of music
