Document background
The Single Song Agreement is a fundamental document in the Nigerian music industry, used when a songwriter or composer wants to transfer or license rights to a specific musical composition to a publisher, record label, or other music industry entity. This agreement is particularly relevant in Nigeria's rapidly growing music market, where it helps protect both creators' and publishers' interests while ensuring compliance with local copyright laws and industry standards. The document covers essential aspects such as rights assignment, royalty structures, territorial scope, and usage permissions, making it suitable for both domestic and international exploitation of the musical work. It's designed to address modern music industry needs while conforming to Nigerian legal requirements, including the Copyright Act and related regulations.
