How you can become MY manager ☺️ I’m BRAND NEW I’m the music field. Like so new that all I’m doing is writing right now 😭 but I have a decent audience already because I’m a Chicago based model who knows a few artists and other folks in the field

[@joonxciv]

Where can we get these forms? Split Sheets and Recoring Studio Contracts and stuff like that.

[@11dremoss]

Always informative Rick! Thanks 🙏🏾

[@thesuncollective1475]

Excellent guide..Thankyou

[@RickBarkerMusic]

no problem!

[@jamesweaver7056]

Been in the industry for nearly a decade. Still found this very useful as a concise refresher. Thanks.

[@kellylynnannin6315]

Great info! Looking forward to the next video Rick!

[@johnnychase801]

Thanks Rick!

[@RickBarkerMusic]

thanks Johnny! anything specific you'd like to see me put out next?

[@johnnychase801]

I still get confused on the difference between Sound Exchange, Song Trust, CD Baby Pro etc... as in which ones serve what function. Which one is best to use and if any conflict with one another... In the past I had an issue with overlap where none would pay because they were both tracking same thing.

Great content, Rick! :) Appreciate it. #untiltomorrow.

[@jcwescott2235]

excellent!

[@RickBarkerMusic]

thanks JC!

[@jonstatham]

This is more important than people realize! Thank you, Rick!

[@RickBarkerMusic]

thanks for checking it out! what's another topic you'd like to see me cover?

[@jonstatham]

@@RickBarkerMusic You've covered so much, I'd have to really think about it. How about taking responsibility for the setbacks and acknowledging the wins of one's music career?

[@gnethentertainment8907]

Your voice is Playing a fantastic role 👏on this video#Thank you for schooling me

[@No__Match]

Awesome rick, I would love to hear you speak on major labels, which ones are best etc

[@philbouldry8616]

Rick, Thank you for putting some of the music biz technical jargon into layman's terms for those of us who are just starting in this business. ~Phil

[@carltonjhons1278]

much love man i was very confused, that video of yours was very inormative, you simply broke it down for me in a way which i understood, watched and read tons of videos and articles about same, they were very confusing to the point i wanted to quit makin music because the idea is u keep the hustle until it pays u back and u reinvest that earned $ again into your career until u blow up and u r way too big to be ignored!thats the catch really appreciated

[@datemonthyear]

this is the good stuff, Rick. thanks.

[@superbowl216]

Great video sent this to my music friends

[@etenbroeck]

Thank you for your post Rick, very well thought out. E

[@actionpr2]

Thank you, very thoughtful. Much appreciated!

[@timberlaner6458]

You have such a good base that you’ve built. This channel is bound to blow up! You’ve helped me a lot! Maybe we’ll cross paths some day. Thanks!

[@CarolinaMariaMusic]

Thank you so much Rick!! We really appreciate it :)

[@jenifferliteratus3593]

This is very helpful.. Thank you so much!

[@lucbarr]

Thank you, Rick, amazing info!

[@ignatenko_74]

Thank you so much! This information is really essential!

[@RickBarkerMusic]

you're welcome!

[@MusiciansIgnite]

Great video, Rick!

[@KeilaSings]

Thank you so much for this info! Can’t wait to learn more! Can you talk more about how to engage w/companies like CD baby? What should we be looking for and how do we protect ourselves? Also, how can we find/vet investors? Thank you so much for your help!

[@Vegoben]

Nice hoodie!!

[@RickBarkerMusic]

thanks Ben!

[@sandrarr5434]

As a songwriter who has not yet launched would I be ok to put my original songs for example on KZbin or Instagram in it's unadulterated raw form??

[@PeterValentino]

Hi Rick, great video! How about doing covers and getting them out on CD Baby? Also performing a song as a known film character in a video. Are these things protected so that we can't put it out, or do we just have to pay licensing and maybe percentages? Thanks!

[@sandrarr5434]

Man - thank you so much for this. When you say a production deal I presume you mean a publishing deal??

[@sandrarr5434]

🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾

[@cadenwelch444]

Wouldn’t you say an A&R is the same thing as a Manager or no?

[@jamieleighhardemanmusic8465]

How would an artist such as myself get a successful manager such as yourself that can really help them into the right opportunities in the Buisness? I have my own band ( Jamie Leigh and the classics ) we are on fb and social media platforms but I don’t want to waste my time with people that can’t propel me forward.

[@reggieclark2809]

Do you have any services or info or insight you could share through a video for producers

[@ages2020]

How much of a % do recording artists or writers get from spotify and platforms like them in all honesty the market these days is a horrible return on investing music in those platforms to lose rights and royalty's with a corrupt % system. So I do so for myself and have found it was for the love of music more than any return except for gigs witch are now off for covid19. Still building our base but do well enough to have some true supporters of what we do on line during this time and in the past. I buy what I need only and kick doors down in my own humble way. Although you have some very good advise I do not believe Platforms like Stotify should even be supported and radio stations and artists be compensated for the rip off. People in the CRTC here in Canada need a wake up call as we as artist are sick of them and their crappy deals for streaming etc. Thank's Rick Just say'n it's not for everyone. But Thank's

[@BRYDN_NATHAN]

How much to #shopadeal 🤔

[@Monssa]

Thanks Rick!
