Standard Record Deals offer recording artists advances of $50,000.00 to $100,000.00. Although at first glance, this might seem like a lot of money. In the music business, it is not. It will be gone before you know it.
MAJOR RECORD DEALS offer recording artists a minimum advance of $250,000.00. And when more than one record company competes, it can go as high as $500,000.00.
Most people who claim they are a part of the music business (i.e., managers, agents, scouts, etc.) are not. As a matter of fact, they don't even know what the music business actually is. If anything, all they know is a few minor contacts in a club or two. The majority of aspiring recording artists that make it as far as a record deal ... fall prey to the music industry sharks!
Don't get into the music business without knowing anything about the business!
It's sad but true!
Put another way, the record industry is set up to exploit One Hit Wonders. Hence, legitimate record industry scouts find an independent singer, group, or band that has a potential hit single in their repertoire of original songs. They then offer the starry-eyed prospect a Standard Record Deal. This is designed for the record company to make millions off the potential hit record (that they will make a hit record) while the recording artist ends up in debt (owing the record company for all the advance money they received). Unless lightening strikes twice for the recording artist (they write another hit record), they will disappear after their one hit record has run its course.
It's easy to learn the tricks of the trade that puts recording artists in a much better position so that record companies treat them like royalty. This means, instead of one record company offering you a standard record deal designed to make you fail, several record companies will compete with each other to sign you. And each one will offer a MAJOR RECORD DEAL designed to make you a success!
