The word music has a whole meaning of it's own, but what's behind the music industry is a world that has been hiding until NOW.  There is a more to music than a stage full of great dancers and a beautiful singer.
 What actually makes music is what's behind the scene, the people behind those cameras who are involved in this business.  Before our artist hit the arena they need to know about Business Law because is a major part of the music industry from copyrights to management. Copyrights are legal rights that are established by federal law to control an author's Part of the music industry where an identifying name, design or sign is considered a profitable piece of property.

Brain Brodeur a former studio Engineer, has done work for Def Jam and Mercury records, said" The backbone of the music industry is two fold. It runs on music & money.
There are billions of dollars a year spent on new music and behind all those sales is a fundamental system of publishing royalties. Some royalties are "ADMINISTERED" by artist rights groups like ASCAP & BMI.  There are different kinds of royalties and recording artist have money ways to earn royalties they earn them from film soundtracks, to TN airplays, to record sales, to live performance...
Some artist claim almost $3 -$5 per album sold (i.e. Paul Simon) and some have multi year careers and hardly see any royalties..."
 Now leading to the management, the manger in most cases has a major role in the lives and careers of an artist.
Typically a manger will advise the artist in matters related to
Marketing, publicity, promotion employment and image.
The terms of agreement should be discussed: how long it will last and if the contract will extend on a regular basis.
A manager go out of his way if he see that the artist has talent and is truly is worth a profit. Then the money comes out of the managers pocket, but if the artist themselves see that what was promise is not being accomplish then the contract can be dismissed. The managers have duties and responsibilities towards the artist.  The mangers are like second guardians where they provide supervision and Coordination of those people, offering counseling and advice.
Having a manger always brings three questions to mind:
1) How much will the manager are paid?
2) In what form will the manager be compensated?
3) Who will pay for the expenses?
Due to this, problem rises. To avoid these conflicts there should be an agreement for a manager to receive a specific percentage.
 When an artist begins and walks-in with only their talent, they walk in with no knowledge of the recording industry.  That's why it's a good idea to have a reliable lawyer at their side.  A lawyer that would make sure there's
no fraud. There is a whole chain involved in this business:
Lawyer > Manager > Publicist > booking management >Tour management > Image consultant.
