My jurisdiction is: Ohio
Just have a hopefully quick question. I am getting ready to 'officially' manage my 1st music artist and we are working on getting a signed agreement. I drew up a contract but there seems to be confusion on an issue:
the problem we are having is: ...any company or corporation formed, owned or controlled, directly or indirectly, by Artist
They don't want it in there and I'm thinking it is rather important specially if they were to form an LLC and end up performing ''under'' that company. This is why we 'both' agreed on adding:..by Artist in proportion to Artist roles in aspects.
I'm trying to let them know the importance of it staying in there from my POV while they don't want to be 'tide' down if they 'were' to start a LLC (such as a record company).
On a side note they want to change out the 'entertainment industry' to 'music industry' - i don't see a reason why NOT to change it, do you?
