Standard Rate Card
Creative Fees:
Creative Fee Rate is based upon one (1) minute of music, with a one-minute of music minimum. This basic Creative Fee Rate uses a standard Rhythm Section of five musicians (drums, percussion, bass, guitar and keyboards).
$2,000.00 (Rhythm Section Only)
The Creative Fee will increase five (5%) percent per musician required (or $100.00 per additional musician)
in addition to the standard Five Musician Rhythm Section. For example if the client requests a 20-member
1/4 orchestra for their music production, the formula is:
$2,000.00 + ($100.00 x 20 = $2,000.00) = $4,000.00
The Creative Fee will increase 25% for a lead vocalist (for lyricist) and 5% for background vocalists.
There is a twenty percent (20%, administration fee of the actual total cost of Creative Fee. and Production Costs.
