BASICS - Label, Distribution, Publishing, GEMA, GVL, KSK,...
This is about the basic structures behind your music project. Which institution actually does what exactly and what is your role in this system? The questions you might be asking yourself are "Should I release my music myself or better look for a label?", "How can a publisher help me at all and what do they want in return?" or "Do I need a manager?" - all important questions that should be clarified! We check what would make most sense for your project and what options you have if you want to do it yourself. We talk about self-directed releases, distribution possiblities, schedules, label applications, expectations towards your partners, publishers and much more.
Then there are institutions like GEMA or GVL. Do you need a membership or does it just cost you unnecessarily? What are they actually doing for you? How do you get your well-deserved royalties? (Keyword GEMA live playlists,...) We'll get to the bottom of it! A KSK membership can also be important for you. We can sense whether you meet the conditions. In any case, it's about finding out at which points you are best off with your project if you take action yourself and at which points you should think about bringing in someone external. Of course, we also keep the financial aspect in mind. What I cannot offer is legal advice.
