If you ever decide to perform for exposure, make sure you protect your value.
Get your promoter to sign an NDA that prevents them from disclosing the terms of your contract.
An NDA keeps the deal private, so no one else knows you're not getting paid, which helps maintain your perceived value in the industry.
At the same time, ensure they treat you exactly like the paid artists - same performance setup, same hospitality, same respect.
This keeps your brand intact while allowing you to leverage the opportunity.
Too many artists agree to exposure gigs without setting boundaries, only to realise later that it cost them more than it gave.
This little trick ensures you're not just another free act but a professional with leverage.
Play it smart. You’ll thank me later.
