Want to compose for Primary Color Music?
Here are the FAQs.
What we need from you:
Your W9 and PRO numbers - send to ryan@primarycolormusic.com
Signed Composer Agreement - get from and return to ryan@primarycolormusic.com
How to deliver tracks to us:
48K WAV Files
Full mix and splits/stems of the final version (after any requested revisions)
How we operate:
Non-Exclusivity
As an outside composer, you have no obligation to compose exclusively for us.
Demo Fees
Per industry standards, our first project or two with new-to-us composers don’t pay demo fees.
After the short trial period described above, our standard demo fee is $250 but this number could go up or down depending on the project. We will let you know upfront about demo fees when we reach out to bring you onto projects.
The demo fee is not paid if your track is chosen, as you will be receiving a higher payout based on the overall budget of the given project.
Win Fee
This fee varies from project to project, but we will typically try to let you know what this number is before the project begins.
Royalties
We keep 100% of publishing and you keep 100% of songwriting for custom composed projects, whether the track is chosen by the client or not.
If your track is chosen by the client we will register the song with your PRO. You will receive applicable royalties directly from them (typically there is a ~12mo delay on royalty payments after the initial air date of the commercial).
