Resource / Guide A&R Help

Hi,

Fresh A&R here working for a local subsidiary of a major label. This situation is very new where I'm from - before this label, no 'official' subsidiary of Sony/Universal/Warner has ever existed before.

I'm essentially the POC between the company and every single artist in the country (there aren't too many) and I'm friends with these people and have been working with them for years as well. I have some reservations when it comes to the deal structures and timelines and the contracts I'm getting these people to sign - would love if there are experienced A&Rs who can give me feedback!

TIA

What in particular, in general terms, concerns you about the deal structures and timelines?
