I will draft a beat licensing, music copyright, and producer agreement
Licensed US Entertainment Attorney Protecting Your Music Rights
About this Gig
As a beatmaker or recording artist, the beat licensing contract is the lifeblood of your income. As a Licensed US Entertainment Attorney (Bar #009002), I provide airtight beat licensing and producer agreements that protect your copyrights and define exact usage limits.
Whether you are leasing beats on BeatStars or buying an exclusive track for a major album release, using generic templates leaves you vulnerable to copyright strikes and unpaid royalties.
I specialize in drafting:
- Beat Licensing Agreements: Non-exclusive leases (MP3, WAV, Trackouts) detailing stream limits, radio play, and sync rights.
- Exclusive Producer Agreements: Full or partial copyright transfers, publishing retention, and mechanical royalty terms.
- Music Copyright Contracts: IP assignment and work-for-hire documentation.
Do not sell or buy a beat without legal backing. I will ensure your terms regarding sample clearances, publishing splits, and performance rights are crystal clear.
Protect your music business today by ordering your custom drafted agreements.

FAQ
Can I upload your contracts directly to BeatStars?
Yes, they are perfectly structured to be copied into BeatStars or Airbit contract sections.
Do your exclusive agreements let the producer keep publishing?
Yes, standard industry practice allows producers to keep their writer's share. I will draft it based on your preference.
What happens if a leased beat gets a major label placement?
My non-exclusive contracts include a clause requiring the artist to negotiate an exclusive upgrade.
Do you address uncleared samples?
Yes, the contract will clearly state who is legally and financially responsible for clearing samples.
Do I own the copyright if I buy an exclusive beat?
Usually, you own the sound recording, but the producer retains underlying composition rights. I will clearly define this.
Can you review a beat contract someone sent me?
Yes, please message me for a custom contract review offer.
