Questions
The things people ask us most, answered properly rather than diplomatically.
Getting signed
Do you accept unsolicited demos?
Yes. The submission form is the only route — not social media DMs, which we will miss.
Is there a fee to submit?
No. Any company charging you to be listened to is selling you something other than a record deal.
How long until I hear back?
Usually within two weeks. You get an answer either way — silence is not our version of a no.
Do I need a manager or lawyer first?
No. If we offer you a deal we pay for your independent legal review before you sign.
Rights and money
Do I keep my masters?
Rights revert on a schedule written into the contract. The specific term depends on what we are investing, and it is negotiated before you sign, not after.
Do I have to sign publishing too?
No. Recording and publishing are separate agreements and either can be signed without the other.
How often am I paid?
Twice a year, itemized by source and territory, with a real audit right.
Who owns the session files?
You do. You leave the studio with your multitracks whether or not you release with us.
Using our music
Can I use a track in my video?
For anything public or commercial you need a license — start at sync & licensing. It is usually quicker and cheaper than people expect.
Can I cover or sample a song?
A cover needs a mechanical license; a sample needs clearance from both the master and the publishing side. Ask us and we will tell you exactly what you need.
I am a journalist — where are the assets?
On the press page, along with who to contact and what the usage terms are.
