Your Contract Terms Breakdown

Artist Focused Transparency. No fees or hidden costs.

The spirit of our contract:

We sign all artists to an 80/20, 36-month contract which is called “Tier 3” in our agreement. Then, we provide all of our extraordinary support and services while we collaborate on building momentum and developing your career.

We want our artists happy and thriving with us. If you aren’t, all you have to do is send an email to artist services requesting to be dropped and released from your contract

Things can happen fast when you are experiencing any type of “hit moment”.

Whether it is “viral success” on socials, spiking audience growth, getting on a tour or selling out your own, we are ready to power up right when it is happening!

It is a case by case kind of call so you will either qualify for a Boost to support the moment you are having or it will activate your upstream to Tier 2 or Tier 1

Please be advised that we do not change the language on this contract for Tier 3, when you are upstreamed to Tier 1 or Tier 2 the additional terms and long form contract will be negotiated.

Our roster is limited and invitation only.

To ensure all of our artists get the release dates and team support planning they need, we ask that if you're interested in signing with us, please do so within 10 days, so we can start supporting your career plans.

We plan to support your growing career, so our contract includes that you agree to negotiate in good faith with us to upstream our contractual and financial commitment to you as your career becomes more elevated.

We don’t want our artists in debt, so we decide when it makes good business sense to upstream and deploy more capital into your career.
