    he's so right. as writers, they absolutely fucking deserve a percentage of the master. the song LITERALLY WOULDN'T EXIST without them. yet they see none of the streaming revenue? fuck the fuck off. i feel his anger too. this industry grinds you down so much man. i'm obviously not at the jon bellion level, but the amount of time you hear the phrase "it's just industry standard" - WELL LET'S CHANGE THE STANDARD THEN BECAUSE IT'S NOT WORKING FOR THE PEOPLE CREATING THE LITERAL MUSIC. ugh.

      No. They get paid a big chunk for the writing the song. If it flops then the label has all the risk and wastes 5,6 figures on a dud song. While the writer is living in a new house. If it works out then the label deserves the risk.

      Lol yes another average entitled lazy musician. If you didn’t master the song why should you earn money from it? You ironically want to steal money from the people who mastered the song cause they should be getting all of the money from the work they did. Continue that line of thought and you’ll end up a one hit wonder trash can artist like this guy

      All BS. These labels aren’t charities. If the song flops then the label has all the risk and wastes 5,6 figures on a dud song. While the writer is living in a new house. If it works out then the label deserves the rewards. The $2MM he mentions from that one song includes 10 other fails, marketing costs & other overheads etc. This is why labels are doing 360 deals now.

    I'm on a pretty big label (6th biggest in the world according to billboard charts) and the artists get WAY more than 50% on the royalties for their releases.
    Always found it crazy af that artists will be willing to sign these crappy deals where they no longer own the rights to their songs.

      Because it fluctuates bro, every song and label gives different point to writers and producers, so he’s probably been apart of deals where he’s had 6,7,3,4,5,2 the point is, it’s not a lot.

    People like this LOVE to talk because they aren't cutting the check. Sure that movie made 100 million, but it was the studio who took that SOLE RISK. You got your $50,000 guaranteed regardless if every investor ate sand... Would you have been okay getting paid nothing upfront and a conditional percentage if the project succeeds? Nope. People only say that retrospectively about projects that strike it big, not the hundreds of failures that happen a year! Ask anyone established in the arts for anything and they will demand an upfront payment.
    Heck producers like Jon will not only want you to pay thousands of dollars for their beat upfront, but they also insist on taking 50 percent of the publishing while paying for none of the studio time, none of the mixing and mastering, none of the marketing and promotion etc... How are they any better than a label? Or is it only okay when they demand everything and more.
    Jon is also only seeing things from the producer's perspective. I think he is forgetting these labels are literally getting money loaned out to them and taking all the risk! They are doing that to MAKE MONEY, not break even. Artists will complain about labels day and night but will almost never take that 2 million dollars out of their own bank account to fund the album. They'll equally balk at the idea of taking out a loan to finance it. Instead they expect the label to do all the work, take all the risk, and give them a 50 percent split too LOL.
    Get real kid, this is the music BUSINESS, not charity.

      I agree but at the same time that doesn’t mean these artists aren’t being screwed. Labels take advantage of this and take way more than they should be. Not only that, the labels know what songs are gonna blow and which ones won’t. They literally have control over it. So they are screwing over the artists

      @@markfisher1062 In all fairness, if labels knew which songs would blow they wouldn’t go out of business. Multiple albums don’t do well despite massive budgets and marketing. In 2013 $25MM, $36MM in today’s money, was spent on Lady Gaga’s Album, Artpop. The album had the largest 2nd week decline in sales. The label did not recoup that investment.
