Music Marketing is fun, Just make good music. I am the Music Industry Truth. Music deals. Streaming math. Artist development. No brochure.

Who actually owns the song?

Most artists cannot answer this in one sentence: who owns the master, who owns the composition, and who gets paid when it streams.

1. Most people talk about dialogue in lyrics like folklore. It is paperwork and taste under pressure.

2. Read the clause: if the incentive is theirs, the "best practice" will serve them first.

3. Ask: who gets paid if this works? Who is stuck if it fails? Who can walk?

4. Practical move this week: write your current understanding of dialogue in lyrics in 5 lines. Then have a specialist mark what's wrong.

5. Careers break on the thing everyone called "too detailed to worry about now."

Save this. Most artists learn it after they already signed.

Dialogue in lyrics. read the clause.

1. I will not soften this: Re-record restrictions are a non-compete on a throat.

2. The brochure version exists to keep you grateful while the cap table stays theirs.

3. Education without teeth is just content. Teeth = clauses, numbers, walk-away power.

4. You do not owe the industry your politeness after it has your copyright.

5. Build alternatives in public: owners, not auditioners.

Save this. Most artists learn it after they already signed.

“A big investor almost stopped working with me after his daughter showed him my TikTok. He said it was putting me in the wrong light. I asked, ‘We do big business together, right? So because of TikTok, you won’t work with me again?’ He said, ‘No.’”

“We checked Burna Boy’s sales, nothing was coming from Nigeria, it was UK 🇬🇧 and US🇺🇸 On 2013 we had Burna on a 2 year deal, we registered Aristokrat as a Record label in 2012 and but started working with Burna since 2010 and the deal was for 2 years, but his mom didn’t want another 4 years from 2012. She was like ‘we already had him for 2 years”

Hello, Showbiz doesn’t work that way, commitment from the show organizers has to be fulfilled and met based on the artist demand. It's a two-way street, you need them to grow your platform just as much as they need you.

How you treat a top performer like AY is not the same way you treat a B list artist. A-list artists are not struggling; they deserve a certain level of preferential treatment, and promoters usually need to operate on their terms.

“AY Collected £9,000 From The Cardiff Show Organiser And Still Disappointed His Fans. The Organiser Is From Edo State And Did His Best, But AY Has Misrepresented What Happened. The Organiser Booked Nine Hotel Rooms, Not a Studio Room As AY Claimed. The Young Man And His Investment Were Drained By AY And His Team’s Numerous Demands. He Even Prepared Nigerian Dishes For AY, But AY Refused To Eat Them. And The Irony Of Complaining About Uber Eats Is That Nigerians Are Also The Ones Preparing The Food He Ordered. AY Is Trying To Destroy The Organiser’s Brand.” ~ CTNaija Reacts👀

“Blame The Organisers! With Everything I’ve Achieved In Life, They Booked a Student Room For Me. If You See The Kind Of House I Have And Live In Back Home In Lagos! They Were Even Ordering Uber Eats For My Meals. If They Don’t Understand This Business, They Should Stay The Fvck Away From It!” ~ Comedian AY Speaks On The Cardiff Controversy After Nigerians Called Him Out For Failing To Show Up.

“Burna Boy has always been the biggest artiste internationally. When he dropped L.I.F.E in 2013, he debuted at No. 7 on the Billboard Reggae chart and in the UK Underground chart Top 20. Only Wizkid’s ‘Superstar’ comes close.”

—Peedi Picasso, Aristokrat Records CEO

[carter🌚 @carter8f]

“I didn’t renew Burna Boy’s contract because he wanted big money, a Porsche and gifts that weren’t recoupable. His mom told me to trust him, but after what happened with Wizkid and EME, I didn’t want to build my label around one artiste.”
