If you’re in a band…
If the singer is the main songwriter and owns all the songs and therefore shows up in a Mercedes and a pair of OG Jordan 1’s…the band is about to break up.
If money and lifestyle become drastically different across band members, you’re not going to have a band for long.
It’s not that it’s wrong to take one hundred percent of the song ownership if you’re the only one who wrote the song…but multiply that financial differential over the course of a few albums with mild success and it’s going to be really tough to keep it all together. That’s just the way it is.
Everyone wants to know and feel that their contribution is significant, essential and monetarily valuable. And if you can pull off creating a culture like this you’re going to make a lot more money anyway…and have more fun and be more fulfilled.
