ARTIST CONTRACT INFORMATION

Yadmaker Music Corporation has exclusive individual contracts with each artist represented. Yadmaker Music takes the traditional music industry concepts and combines those concepts into a new business formula that is financially fair to the musician as well as the consumer.  Yadmaker combines the concepts of a traditional record label, promotions and the distribution of music into one entity using the cutting edge technology of the internet, which is Yadmaker’s base root of operations as well as utilizing traditional retail distribution for select artists.

Typically, with a traditional record label contract, the artist will have an average royalty rate of 2%-12%. Yadmaker Music Corporation offers much more. We offer royalty rates of 40%-60% for our artists.

Yadmaker Music is an independent music label, searching for artists who are willing to invest in their own craft. Often a traditional record label will put their artist in serious debt.  For example, by contracting the artist into a high priced recording studio, and then extracting all of the record label’s expenses from the already typically low royalty rate. This leaves most artists struggling financially. Additionally, traditional record labels take all ownership of music from the artist, therefore the artist truly loose their rights to their own works.

Yadmaker Music strives to allow all artists to invest in themselves, such as recording studio cost; therefore the artists retains all ownership and copyrights of their music and gain a higher royalty rate. Yadmaker Music offers exclusive licensing agreements with each artist. Yadmaker offers a web site community unlike any other to increase each artist’s individual sales of music as well as strives towards promotions, radio play, traditional distribution and sponsored live shows. Yadmaker Music endeavors to bring high quality artists to the industry and reserves all rights for music review and evaluation for future contracts.

admaker Music Corp. is an independent music label representing independent artist nation wide, operating primarily on the internet but also through traditional retail stores.

Yadmaker Music Corp. founded in Rochester, NY, in mid 2004, with the desire to create a new vision of the music record industry.

With a different approach to building and representing artist, Yadmaker Music steps forward in putting the process of success in the musician’s hands as well as in the music labels. Combining traditional record label avenues for business and incorporating new technology of the internet and downloadable music, Yadmaker Music has created a business model that is beneficial for the music buyer, and musician. 

We understand that the music industry is changing, much of today’s youth no longer spend hours in the record store browsing for the latest music to buy, they spend their time on-line and downloading, while the generations from the 1980’s and earlier still purchase and desire to have a tangible product in hand such as a CD. Musicians now have the capability to record professional quality music in home studios and truly can establish themselves as an independent artist. We at Yadmaker can now offer to the independent artist, a means of development and distribution as well as fulfill the desires and needs of the buying music lover in every generation. 

Yadmaker pays 40%-60% in royalty rates to all artists with exclusive licensing agreements with us. We encourage artist to acquire their own copyrights and publishing rights as well as having their own professional recorded catalog of music so that Yadmaker Music can concentrate on the aspects of promotion and distribution while paying such great royalty rates. Artists who are signed by Yadmaker get a formulated contract to meet their individual needs.  Yadmaker strives to bring high quality artists to the industry and reserves all rights for music review and evaluation for future contracts. As well as reserving rights to evaluate any new songs which an already contracted artist proposes to "post on the web site" for public listening and purchasing.

If you are an artist, we are currently accepting promotional packs/press kits.
