Exclusive Recording Agreement

"I need an Exclusive Recording Agreement for a Singapore-based record label signing a new K-pop group for a three-album deal starting March 2025, with specific provisions for digital distribution rights across Southeast Asia and merchandising revenue splits."

Document background
The Exclusive Recording Agreement is a fundamental contract in the music industry, establishing the legal and commercial relationship between artists and record labels in Singapore. It defines the terms under which an artist grants exclusive rights to their recordings, including production, distribution, and monetization across various platforms. This agreement is particularly important in Singapore's growing entertainment sector, where it must comply with the Copyright Act 2021 and other relevant legislation. The document typically covers recording commitments, royalty arrangements, advance payments, and marketing obligations, while addressing modern digital distribution requirements and territorial rights.
