(By Budi Voogt)
Understanding the
Music Industry is a
series that outlines
the framework of the
business, explaining
the roles of the industry
professionals, what their jobs
entail, when itβs important to
involve them and deal specifics
that you want to be aware of.
Artist managers, booking
agents, music publishers,
labels, A&Rs and others β
weβll treat them all.
The first episode covers the
foundations that underlie this
business, shedding light on
artist managers and booking
agents.
The second episode covers
music publishers, the different
types and talk of
synchronizations (also known
as syncs) and licensing.
In this third part we will
expand on the different types
of record labels, the role of
A&Rs, distribution deals and
music promotion (via radio
pluggers and PR agencies).
In other words, things you
should know when youβre
looking to get signed by a
label or are currently
negotiating a deal.
