Creative Consultant/A&R

 

You cannot have subpar material and expect a publicist, or any other professional, to represent you…unless they’re scamming you out of your money!?The project needs to possess artistic merit. 

 

Everything about the music business happens after the song is recorded. Whether you need help with marketing and promotions, public relations, securing radio and internet presence, brand imaging, music distribution and negotiating record deals, we offer consulting services that endeavors can hit the ground running to build success for your label, artist or career.

 

Mapping out a realistic plan of action:

Once you’ve gained a greater understanding of how the game is played, you can begin mapping out a 3 to 6 month plan of action that will help you go from point A to Z.  This plan will keep you on track and help you achieve your desired short-term goals. However, the plan must be realistic and it needs to work within your budget, timeline and realm of expertise. If your entire team is involved, all parties must agree on the plan and remain committed to the mission.

W-9/10-99 Tax Forms

 

Form W-9 is frequently utilized in a business context, when one business needs to pay another business or a person for services performed as an independent contractor. Form W-9 is also used by financial institutions to obtain information from their customers, which will be used to prepare various types of Form 1099 to report interest, dividends and other types of income.

 

Be sure to send the W-9 securely. The W-9 contains sensitive information that should be kept private and secure. Don't send your completed W-9 as an unsecured or unencrypted email attachment. Instead use secure methods of delivery, such as hand delivery, mail, or encrypted file attachments to an email.

 

File Form 1099-MISC for each person to whom you have paid during the year:

at least $10 in royalties or broker payments in lieu of dividends or tax-exempt interest; at least $600 in rents, services (including parts and materials), prizes and awards, other income payments, medical and health care payments, crop insurance proceeds or generally, the cash paid from a notional principal contract to an individual, partnership, or estate; or gross proceeds of $600, or more paid to an attorney during the year.  Also, use Form 1099-MISC to report that you made direct sales of at least $5,000 of consumer products to a buyer for resale anywhere other than a permanent retail establishment.

Independent contractors and other people who work for themselves will often need to give a Form W-9 to their clients. Clients will then use the information on Form W-9 to prepare Form 1099-MISC to report income paid to the independent contractor.
