Recording Contract

Record producers can write up Recording Contracts for musical artists with this downloadable template which can be used in the United States and Canada.

• The contract sets out the terms agreed to by the parties for the production and distribution of a master to be recorded by the artist.
• All expenses will be paid by the record company and reimbursed from gross income from sales of the record.
• Both parties share artistic control for the recording.
• The record company will provide session musicians as needed.
• The artist assigns to the record company all of its right and title in the recording and the material recorded, with an option to purchase the rights back.
• The artist agrees to actively promote the record through live appearances.
