BeatMaker Info

Beat Brokers:
A beat broker is someone who simply shops (promotes) the beats of a beatmaker/producer. A beat broker can be a friend, a music insider, or anyone that has access to a network of recording artists, in particular, recording artists who are likely to be in the market for new music material. A beat broker’s only responsibility is to shop the beats of the beatmaker/producer that they represent. They need not be skilled in negotiating the terms and sale of the beats that they’re shopping. (An entertainment lawyer privy to beat/instrumental placements can handle that). Because of this limited (but critical) scope, an agreement between a beat broker and beatmaker/producer can be rather simple, straightforward, and short in duration. In fact, a beat broker can be commissioned for a 10% finder’s fee, worked out over a per beat or per situation agreement.
