Never Let Go: Keep Your Masters & Creative Control

Description:

If you’re an artist, you should be in the driver’s seat of your career- without sacrificing the support of an experienced team. Unfortunately, that often isn’t the case. It’s time to redefine what being an independent artist truly means and what success can look like when you retain creative freedom and ownership of your music. “Independent” doesn't have to mean “alone”. This discussion will provide artists with the keys to understanding how an independent deal structure can work. And how to build the right team without having to give up the reins on their career.
