​​2. What are the artist partnership splits?

Artists/bands selected for artist partnerships are offered an 80/20 split (Artist/iProdigy) for most opportunities/services each artist accepts. In all cases artists earn the lion's share. ​Artists retain ownership of masters and have the final say in everything. Each opportunity is as unique as each artist. Everything is customized case-by-case. ​A deep dive detailed term sheet will be made available for review with every artist partner invitation.​​​​

​

3. What's the difference between an artist partner and artist member?

All artists who join iProdigy for free are considered members before an invitation of partnership is offered. The unparalleled benefits of artist partnership are noted above. Artist membership includes opportunities to participate in world-class masterclasses, songcamps, consults, a digital marketing co-op, and the most innovative crowdfunding platform ever built. 

​

4. What is reward-based crowdfunding and how can I get in on that?

What's the difference between our "reward-based competitive crowdfunding" model and platforms like Kickstarter? The monthly Top 20 artists are rewarded with additional cash rewards, which at scale are hundreds of thousands of dollars. Yes, you read that correctly. Charting is based on fan engagement and crowdfunded earnings to goal. We place 3% of every fan contribution in a pool and share it with the top ranked artists equally. It is a gamechanging funding model for talented artists and truly levels the playing field for all. All artist members are reviewed for a potential invitation.

​

5. Who needs artist development and why is it so crucial? 

Literally every artist and band on the planet either needs or benefited from artist development, from tweens experimenting in the garage to Miles Davis to Taylor Swift.

​

Today’s diverse icons, largely discovered in small bars and clubs, benefited from artist development, given time and opportunity to fully bake by multi-album label deals. The model no longer exists. As a result, many new major artists today only experience a "transient moment," devoid of a catalog which can stand the test of time. And many more are ill-prepared for the spotlight, prematurely crashing otherwise potentially long-term careers. 

​

DIY Indies now represent nearly 50% of all streaming revenues yet are chronically squeezed by streaming platform policies, suffer from obscurity and either lack marketing skills or budget, and require a new break out strategy. Early-stage development is critical for success.

​

Music artist development nurtures and refines skills, image, and overall career to help talent stand out in the crowd and above the noise. It includes: songwriting, fan engagement, branding, production, marketing, strategy, promotion, media training, and the business of music.​​​​​​​​
