Episode 22: How Advances Work (Or Don't)

Let's talk money.


In this episode, I give an overview of how advances work, what recoupment means, and how to make sure you're valuing yourself and music properly.


Advances are such an important part of the music industry, but before accepting a big lump sum of money, you need to know exactly what you're getting paid, what you're giving up, and how much you need to pay back.


Thanks for listening!
