I had an artist that we are discussing a contract with answering very fast and very surely on the corresponding we have. And that is really good, but it made me think of all the times when I had artist miss out on opportunities because they could never take a decision.

Okay, I understand that when a contract comes on the table it’s quite a big thing for an artist. I’m dealing with contracts almost every week it’s not that special. And I also know that this contract is just a piece of paper and doesn’t mean a shit until you start doing stuff.

So when artists are looking over a 2-page contract for two months you start to lose interest in them. You are thinking of the more serious problems you have to take very fast decisions on along the way and if they are sitting löike this and just think, well then I really don’t want to work with them.

At the same time, you don’t want the persons that just go straight ion and just sign the deal and doesn’t understand what they have signed. they can be equally bad to work with.

I guess it is a bit like a job interview. You don’t have all the time in the world to say yes and don’t propose to start tomorrow if the job is scheduled to next mouth.

My record was a band that I sent a contract to and they wrote back eight months later with a lot of comments what they wanted to change in the contract. I never answered them back. Two years later I meet them again and they still thought we were in negotiation.
