UPCOMING ARTISTS, this is for you.

There are some foundational things you need to do before Labels and Investors can start taking you serious.

A performer may not automatically own copyright, but a performer CAN own copyright.

In my last video, I explained why simply performing a song does not automatically make you the copyright owner. But there’s an important clarification: A performer can actually own copyright in a musical work where they are also the author/creator, or where the relevant rights have been validly transferred or assigned to them. So, for example, if an artist writes and performs their own song, the fact that they are the performer does not prevent them from being the copyright owner.

The key is to understand what role the person played in creating the work and what rights they legally hold. That is why music rights go beyond asking Who sang the song, you need to ask Who wrote it? Who owns the composition? Who owns the sound recording? What rights were transferred or licensed? And what rights does the performer actually have?

Music rights can be complicated. Understanding them shouldn’t be.

Did you catch Part 1? Go back and watch it, then tell me whether a performer own copyright.

YES, you performed a song, BUT you may not own it.

One of the biggest misconceptions in the music industry is that being the performer automatically makes you the copyright owner.

There is a lot more to understanding music rights than simply asking, “Who sang the song?”

Aside all I've said which is the LAW, do you think a performer should automatically own copyright in the song they perform? Let’s talk about it.
