In this episode, host Wisdom Moon sits down with veteran entertainment lawyer Kevin Kookogey, who has represented hundreds of artists, publishers, labels, and more over his 32-year career. Kevin shares the fascinating story of how he broke into the Nashville scene and landed his first major client, Newsboys, offering a behind-the-scenes look at the challenges of getting established. He goes on to deliver incredibly nuanced advice catered to today's music landscape - from typical label deal structures for new artists, to copyright and royalty considerations, to best practices for how churches should handle publishing with worship teams.
With an emphasis on clear client communication and viewing industry relationships as partnerships, Kevin draws upon his decades of experience to address complex issues like registering with performance rights organizations in easy-to-understand ways. Whether you're an artist, writer, pastor or label, this is an utterly invaluable masterclass in Christian music business and legal affairs from one of the industry's most respected names.
