I Just Signed a Development Deal!!

I just signed with King Mojo Records and Entertainment, headed up by former Atlantic and Capricorn VP Dick Wooley.

He was instrumental in breaking huge southern rock bands like the Allman Brothers Band and the Marshall Tucker Band, as well as playing a very active role in all sorts of names from CSNY, Sam & Dave, Led Zeppelin, etc. Read more about him at http://www.kingmojo.com/about.htm

So I'm very very VERY thrilled this week. Great things are happening and continue to roll up on me. Thanks to everybody who's been helping get the Beaudist message out there!

Pretty awesome, hunh?

prince.org footnote: NO, I didn't sign away the masters, sign away my publishing rights, my name, or anything else. Yes an entertainment lawyer looked over the contract and I worked out the kinks BEFORE signing.

I read Prince biographies, cracka!!

It was just a matter of time for you brother!

I'm very happy for ya! But you know it's just a start of a much bigger ball game, right? You're going to ace it anyway ... Nothing I need to tell you.

Beau, this is excellent news man! Congrats!!!

One question though: what is a development deal? Is it like a regular recording contract? Or is it something else?

The label development deal:
Basically, he uses his connections (he's the former VP at Atlantic and Capricorn) to get me in front of major labels. Their goal is to get me a major label deal. My goal is to get a major label deal that doesn't screw me, so, there's the fun in THAT.

OK, sounds good man. Now let's hope things work out and you get that major deal. You certainly deserve one in my opinion.

mmmmm to my knowledge Wooley was NEVER VP of Atlantic or Capricorn. I think he was a promo gopher, not to say he doesn't know his stuff...but I would contest his position at the labels.

Just ask lots of questions. Who else is on their roster? Who he thinks he'll pitch it to, maybe even connect with one of the other artists to see how he works. You're in the driver's seat.
