Inspiration/Creativity/Motivation / GhostWriting Producer?
« on: January 25, 2017, 09:20:29 pm »
Hi there, anybody ever heard of a ghostwriting producer? I guess that's me. I'm at a crossroads in my producing career and need some help. I've been ghostwriting for this big EDM name producer for about a year. I make the tracks from scratch with a set BPM and style to his liking. Sometimes he sends over a track that just needs fill-ins. We work out of pro tools everything is Midi base with files being bounced back and forth. He ends up tweaking parts and puts his twang on it and shops it with his name on it. Now I knew this when i signed up that's not the problem. I've seen no FUNDS!! from the work contributed. I expressed my frustration he assured me the process is long and stuff takes time. That it's not my sound that stuff's in the works and this artist like this blah blah blah......All the while I'm confused to how he makes his money. When I signed up I was told I'd be credited as a writer on the tracks.Also that I receive a percentage of all tracks sold plus royalties. Do you guys think I'm wasting my time? I don't wanna burn a bridge or opportunity. You always hear those horror stories of people being taking advantage of in the industry. Let me know would really help! Btw there is a contract it just breaks down royalties and percentages of what I'd get.However I can walk away anytime.
