Co Writer Agreement

"I need a Co Writer Agreement for a collaboration with my producer on an upcoming album, where we'll be splitting the songwriting credits 60/40 in my favor, and we need to address sampling clearance as we'll be using some existing tracks."

Document background
A Co-Writer Agreement becomes necessary when two or more individuals collaborate on creating musical compositions. This document, governed by English and Welsh law, is essential for establishing clear ownership rights, revenue sharing arrangements, and creative control parameters. It helps prevent future disputes by clearly documenting the contributions and entitlements of each party involved in the songwriting process. The agreement typically covers copyright ownership, royalty distributions, credit requirements, and the scope of the collaboration.
