The Music Artist Collaboration Agreement is essential for formalizing partnerships between artists in the South African music industry who wish to create music together. This document is particularly relevant when artists from different record labels, management companies, or independent artists plan to collaborate on one or more musical works. It ensures compliance with South African legislation, including the Copyright Act 98 of 1978 and the Performers' Protection Act 11 of 1967, while addressing modern music industry practices. The agreement covers crucial elements such as ownership splits, revenue sharing, recording arrangements, marketing commitments, and digital distribution rights. It's designed to prevent future disputes by clearly defining each party's rights, responsibilities, and commercial interests in the collaborative work.
