Founding artists

Founding artist terms

Plain terms, written so you can read them without a lawyer beside you.

Two ways to work together

Choose the deal that fits your song

Some artists arrive with a finished recording. Others have a melody and need a team around it. Both are welcome, and each has its own agreement.

Track A

You deliver the recording

For artists who record and produce their own music, or who already work with a producer they trust.

Who pays for production
You do, or it is already finished
What Logos does
Distribution, publishing administration, release planning and promotion
Revenue split
Heavily in your favour
Master ownership
Stays with you
Licence term
Five to seven years, then all rights revert automatically
Upfront cost to you
None
Track B

We invest in the release

For artists with a strong song who need mixing, mastering, artwork or marketing behind it.

Who pays for production
Logos funds it, agreed in writing beforehand
What Logos does
Everything in Track A, plus production, artwork and a marketing budget
Revenue split
Moves toward an even share while the licence runs
Master ownership
Shared or licensed for a longer term, agreed per release
Licence term
Seven to twelve years, then rights revert
Upfront cost to you
None, and never recouped from anything but this release
Whichever track you choose, we never take ownership of your compositions and never take control of your audience. Publishing is handled separately, through Logos Publishing, so the song and the recording are always covered by their own agreement.
What we offer

The agreement in plain language

Licence, never transfer

You remain the legal owner of your masters and compositions. We receive an exclusive licence for an agreed term, and when it ends every right reverts to you without you having to ask.

Revenue split

Where you deliver a finished recording and we handle distribution, publishing administration and release support, the split favours you heavily. Where we fund mixing, mastering, artwork or marketing, the split moves toward an even share for the term of the licence.

No recoupment traps

Any costs we advance are agreed in writing before we spend a euro. You will never discover a cost you did not approve.

You keep your audience

Your socials, your mailing list and your relationship with your listeners belong to you. We never take control of your channels.

An exit that works

If the fit is wrong, there is a defined way out. No indefinite contracts, no releases held hostage.

These are our starting terms, not a finished contract. Every agreement is reviewed by a music lawyer before signing, for your protection as much as ours.
Why release with Logos

Built for artists, not the other way around

01

You keep ownership

Your masters and your songs stay in your name. We licence them for a fixed term, then every right returns to you automatically.

02

Artist first split

Founding artists keep the large majority of their royalties. One page of plain terms, no hidden deductions.

03

Global distribution

Your music on Spotify, Apple Music, YouTube Music and over 100 platforms, in every country.

04

Publishing included

We register your songs, collect what you are owed and, where the song suits it, get them into the church song databases, not just streaming.
