@benshephard Hey Ben I hope you’re well and safe. I just watched tonight’s Ninja Warrior, the episode where you said you’ll run the course naked if Ali didn’t get through. Ali didn’t get through😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Like I say Royalties is your retirement plan, times like this when you can’t tour or when you don’t want to. You’ll always have your royalties which you’ll continue to earn from until 70 years after you die
I question that. But at the same time I feel you dope producers should now start involving in your contracts a higher percentage if they chose NOT to credit you. Without you they’ll be no them #facts
Coolio used to earn just over $23,000 per year in royalties from his song gangsters paradise. Until he sold his rights for a few hundred thousand. The new owner providing the music usage is consistent will continue to earn said amount until 70 years after coolio’s death
I just keep seeing especially in rap artists and managers aren’t paying attention to publishing and these artists always loose out. I set up a PRS and PPL account the other for an artist on his second top ten. Artists and managers have a duty to educate themselves on this
Btw a song is 50% Lyrics 50% Composition. So if there are 2 writers and 1 producer, the writers get 25% each and the producer gets 50%. It’s all negotiable but these are the fair splits
And whist I’m here can you all make sure you agree on song splits and sign split sheets on completion of the record, cause everyone acts like they don’t care until the song starts doing numbers
I know im doing well because of limited competition but other publishers and the collection societies need to do more to educate creatives on royalties and how to make money from their music
