Readers Respond: Would You Sign a 360 Deal?

Responses: 3

360 deals are becoming the norm, but would you sign one of these deals? Do you think 360 deals are fair for musicians, or are they one more money grab by labels? Share you thoughts about whether or not you would sign a 360 record deal.

Not a chance

360 deal is a sucker's bet. There's no way that you're going to come out of it cleanly. The label is going to be into you until you stop making them money, and they're gonna hang on until you're dry. It's the last gasp of a dying creature and will guarantee a quick rise to the top and a short stay for anyone who takes it. ... and there's a downside too.
