Songwriter Tip #4 “Did you know that if we write a song together, and you write only the lyrics and I write only music, each of us owns a piece of the music and each of us owns a piece of the lyrics? And that neither of us can use just the music, or just the lyrics, without paying the other?” - Donald S. Passman

I just wanted to make music, is that too much to ask? 🎤 . Yes. Yes it is. Know your rights. Get to know what is rightfully yours. Don’t be misled by carrots and “friends” who have your back. . With the digital age you need to know even more than you did before. Just like data rights, the depth of deception as to what you actually think you own is colossal. . Read books, read terms and conditions, read contracts, know that when you say equal splits or 50% that it’s 50% of 100% and not 50% of 5%. Make sure you cover the business end first before any creative process begins. . Know what societies handle what and in which territories. Know the difference between mechanical and performance rights. Understand what a Rights owner is. Know the difference between you as an artist, featuring artist, a label, a writer and performer. . Sort out your digital service providers, understand how to use the platforms and how they use you. . Know the role of your manager if you’re fortunate enough to have one. And most importantly, get a lawyer if you can afford to. . Sounds arduous, laborious and all consuming? That’s because it is if you manage yourself. Sort it out now, you’ll thank me later. . #knowyourrights #musicindustry #allthatglitters #protips #musiclaw #getlegal #songwriter #music #gettoknow #composer #singer #vocalist #rightsowner #indie #donaldspassman #getwithit #qualityorquantity #hustle #musicbusiness #youtube #soundcloud #spotify #applemusic #amazon #facebook #instagram #twitter https://www.instagram.com/p/B0qbpNJHAT-/?igshid=1sds1j6a4m1lx

The Tenth Edition of ”All You Need To Know About The Music Business” by #DonaldSPassman just dropped 2 days ago. I ordered mine through @amazon for less than $35. The BEST money you can spend on a book that may very well change the course of your music career, if you did not have much knowledge or none at all of the inner workings of the Music Industry • #GetEducated #Amazon #LearnTheBusiness #AllYouNeedToKnowAboutTheMusicBusiness #Artists #Musicians #Performers #Songwriters #Managers #Exrcutives #Aspiring #IndieVersal https://www.instagram.com/p/B4TrFmIBylS/?igshid=y556qzydwnf1

Songwriter Tip #5 “Did you know that two major organizations that are delighted to issue mechanical licenses for Publishers are the Harry Fox Agency, which in the United States is the largest organization of its kind, and its Canadian counterpart, CMRRA, standing for Canadian Musical Reproduction Rights Agency?“ - Donald S.
