  • Summary

  • Ever wondered how owning your master recordings can change the trajectory of your music career? Join me, Jonny Amos, on the Music Business Buddy as I unravel the intricacies of master rights. Using Taylor Swift's early albums as a case study, we break down how ownership of master recordings can empower artists and shape their control over their work. You'll gain a clear understanding of why multiple versions of a song can have distinct master rights and the implications this has for artists and producers alike.

    We also delve into the often-murky waters of business relationships between music producers and artists. Highlighting fair and transparent practices, we explore the pros and cons of charging a flat fee versus taking a share of copyright. Learn about the struggles bands face with streaming income and the essential nature of having clear agreements to avoid disputes. Discover the significance of "points" on record sales and how this practice has evolved. We look at the myriad benefits of artists owning their master rights and discuss alternative arrangements, such as partnering with label services companies. We also hear soundbites from Ryan Pinson of RML Studios who shares his insight. Don't miss out on these crucial insights that could help you navigate the business side of the music industry with confidence.
