The Recording Artist Development Agreement is used by persons or companies that wish to invest in all aspects of the professional development of a recording artist with the intention of securing a recording agreement with a successful record label or entertainment company. During the term of the contract, the development company invests in all aspects of the artist’s career including creating master recordings, merchandise and other products. The development company will participate in the income of those products and opportunities during and after the contract ends. After the contract ends, the development company will continue to participate in certain income the artist generates. If you are providing services as a manager to the artist before and after the record deal is acquired, then you should use one of our Artist Management Agreements and not this one. If you are a producer who is developing the artist and will only provide master recording services to help get the Artist a record deal, the you should use our Producer Development Agreement. This agreement is different than the Recording Artist Investment Agreement is because the developing company is not only investing in recordings, but in all aspects of the artist’s career and will be for a longer period of time while the artist is developing to obtain a record deal.
