A musician friend of mine told me about a friend of his that got a record deal:
"I'm friends with a guy who signed a deal with Biv 10 Records, back from 1994 to 1996, which was a sub division of Motown back in the early to late 90's, and run by Michael Bivens, formerly of New Edition and Bell Biv Devoe (obviously it was an R&B label), Boy 2 Men was on the label. Long story short, between limos, expensive hotels, hours of recording with one of the top 3 producers in R&B back then, etc..., he ended up in debt, in excess of 400 grand, to everyone involved, over those 2 years. And worse yet, as an artist, he had the music that HE wrote stolen, they owned his songs, and they never released the cd, and they owned the recording. At the end of the day, 6 of his songs appeared on the cd's of 2 different people, fairly big R&B stars, and he hasn't even seen a penny from that." |
