NARIP’s Art of the Music Deal launched in July in San Francisco – four top Bay Area attorneys negotiated a record agreement LIVE – and was a great success. See articles on front page of this site for review and photos.
Now we bring this series to Los Angeles, launching on September 17 with top music biz attorneys Todd Cooper and Dina LaPolt, as well as a cutting-edge personal artist manager Mike Gormley of Yes Dear Entertainment. (Look for our series in other NARIP chapters soon!). Most people think they can just hand a negotiation to a lawyer, and leave it at that. But the truth is, as a professional, you need to be aware of the process and deal points, too, and what the short- and long-term implications to your artists’ careers may be. Now, in Part I (in Los Angeles) of this special series, two top lawyers and an artist manager face off in a live negotiation of a record agreement in NARIP’s Art of the Music Deal. These experts come together to give you the inside track on major deal points, what they mean and what leverage you have to negotiate the best possible deal. Most importantly, you will see HOW a record deal is negotiated and be involved in the process. Get educated about the art of deal making! YOU WILL LEARN: When it’s the right time to make a deal Major areas of negotiation, including:

MIKE GORMLEY Music industry veterans Mike Gormley and Jolene Pellant have teamed up to form a new management/marketing/music publishing company. The new firm is called Yes, Dear Entertainment. Gormley has been President of L.A. Personal Development since 1987. Prior to that Gormley was partners with Miles Copeland in L.A. Personal Direction. Both were affectionately referred to as L.A.P.D. Yes, Dear management clients already include buzz artist Quincy Coleman, new Danish/Greenlandic singer/songwriter Simon Lynge and the firm will represent Australia’s Michael McMartin in North America, primarily regarding Oz icons The Hoodoo Gurus. On the marketing side Yes, Dear currently represents Mediabase, the largest radio airplay monitor in North America, and Orsino Publicity whose music program is heard in eighty-five art house movie theatre auditoriums around the country including the Laemmle Theaters, Angelika and City Cinemas. A native of Ottawa, Mike has managed several major acts from their early days through to major international recognition including The Bangles and Oingo Boingo. Boingo front man Danny Elfman has become a major film composer with help from Gormley, who convinced him to do the music for “Pee Wee’s Big Adventure” more than twenty years ago. Danny is now one of the top five composers in the film world having scored such gems as “Beetlejuice,” the first two Batman movies, “Spiderman,” “The Red Dragon” and “Chicago.” His work on “Good Will Hunting” and “Men In Black” each earned Danny an Academy Award nomination. Other popular artists Mike has managed include Wall Of Voodoo (who had top 40 hits such as “Mexican Radio” and other major success throughout Europe and Australia), African star Angelique Kidjo and Concrete Blonde. The latter is a multi-platinum act in various parts of the world and best known in the U.S. for their Top 20 hit “Joey.” Although not in the A&R field, Mike was instrumental in the signing to Mercury Records of the legendary New York Dolls and Kraftwerk. He also oversaw the campaigns for Thin Lizzy, The New York Dolls, Rush, Bachman-Turner Overdrive, The Runaways, The Ohio Players, and many others before moving to Los Angeles with A&M Records. At A&M Mike rose to the post of Vice President of Publicity and Assistant to the Chairman. There he worked with The Police, Supertramp, Herb Alpert and others. Mike also teaches a class at UCLA Extension entitled “The Insider’s Guide to Music Management”, is on the boards of the National Folk Alliance and the Music Manager’s Forum, and on the advisory committee for management and legal work for AFTRA. Says Gormley, “The challenges in this industry today calls for people being smart, diversified, well connected and in love with music. This describes Jolene and, in fact, it describes Yes, Dear. And I can’t wait for the receptionist to take incoming calls.”
