Run an Audit on The Record Labels You Sign With (Music Business Advice from DJ Todd Bladz)






The Audit:
Be sure to run audits on the label you have been signed with. The reason for audits is to 
establish what the label has been spending on you to be successful and what they have 
recouped in the budget they used on your behalf. You can run an audit by contacting an 
accountant or independent council, such as your lawyer, to find what the label is spending 
on you. 

Be advised that the label may even try to hide the fact that they owe you money and they will try to bribe you with certain things. If you don't think this exist look at some of Tupac's videos talking about Death Row and how when he started asking questions about how much money he owed them they gave him things to keep his mind off the books. 




PLEASE!!!! CHECK THE BOOKS, This can 
play a pivotal role in your success especially 
if you looking for a new home to do your 
music or label wants to offer you more 
dividends then the current label you are 
with. 


Pick up Kashif's "Everything You Need To Know 
About The Recording Industry." This is a great book and can help you learn more about the goings on in the industry, from a business stand point. Here is link for you to buy the book. http://www.amazon.com/Everything-Better-about-Record-Industry/dp/1885726031 Be advised that you may find out that the label has stealing from you the whole time you are signed with them. 


Start your career with knowledge and not foolishness. If you wish to read more on my Industry Tips you can find me at this link: http://www.theblastblog.blogspot.com/2013/07/intellectual-property-101-music.html Remember, 

"Play the Game! 
Don’t let the game play you."


Good luck with your career,
Dj Todd Bladz
