S2E3 - Songwriter Agreements w/Abby North

  • Summary

  • This week, Nik and David are going to continue the ARW publishing series with songwriting/publishing contracts. Whether you’re trying to write songs for major publishers or you’re just getting started, this episode will help you understand the content to look out for when being handed a songwriter contract. In a sense, songwriting contracts are the counterpart to record contracts. Record contracts tend to get more light shed upon them and are deals between the artist and the record label. Songwriting contracts are deals between songwriters and publishers. For songwriters, these deals may be advantageous as it alleviates most of the issues involving copyrights for a share in royalties. In addition, it allows the songwriter to focus on writing and not so much on the business end. There are typically 3 types of songwriter agreements. A single song agreement (TikTok deals are an example of this), an exclusive songwriter agreement (publisher owns 100% of the copyrights), and an exclusive co- publisher agreement (publisher and songwriter share copyrights). So what exactly are included songwriter agreements? What makes a good songwriter agreement? And what are the incentives for a publisher and a songwriter? That’s what this episode is all about!
