In case it isn’t abundantly clear, I don’t believe in PLUR. I believe in respect, transparency, integrity and the willingness to have difficult conversations with people.
If you don’t have honesty in your professional business dealings you don’t have love, unity or respect. 🤦♀️
You probably don't need to trademark both your artist name and your logo
Your name is the foundation - it's what's on streaming platforms, contracts, and merch. You might change your logo in a year or 2 anyway
Start with the name. If you blow up and the logo becomes iconic (think Nike swoosh-level), you can always file for it later.
But for 99.9% of artists, the name trademark is all you need
@iampaulcampbell @zuezeumusic But what about this artist/act/music makes him worthy of the resources/management versus any other talented kid? Even Ian Asher’s career didn’t blow up like this. Why him?
I figure why not be transparent with my prices, so here are my typical price ranges to draft/review/negotiate certain contracts:
Producer agr - $300-450
Artist mgmt agr - $500-1k
Side artist agr - $300-400
Production Deal - $600-1.2k
Clearing an album - $2k-5k
Cease & Desist Letter - $400-600
Forming LLC - $200-300
The prices depend on a variety of factors, including:
- how responsive/cooperative the other side is
- have you already confirmed the main deal points, or do you need help negotiating?
- is the other lawyer working efficiently to get the deal done, or is he or she redlining every single thing?
- how many tracks are on the album
- how many producers are on a track

@bootsandcass It’s not against the law; but it’s 100% cringe 😆
it’s like being gaslit: I’m supposed to believe the design was originally propagated from either their brain or this influencer’s brain? (A rave influencer; not a fashion design influencer?)
Collabs have gone too far 2024
The excessive drinking and extracurricular activities at skyline today are the exact reason why I cannot take raving in California seriously anymore. I'm genuinely so embarrassed. We really need to stop making this a thing. Overconsumption is not cool.
@johnsummit You won plenty of #EDMMYS from the real fans, you don’t need a Grammy. That was voted by the ppl that matter.
(PSA, I work at EDMM and have your physical awards. Need to send those somewhere 😅)
