I think this approach can also work for Haley and Kris Allen as both are strong songwriters.
As for 19, Haley is still with 19 Management but split from 19 Recordings when her deal with Interscope was terminated.
I have lots of questions about the music business and Haley's situation. Maybe someone in the know has some answers. Sorry if these were asked already....
Just curious...who does Chiara Kramer work for? 19 Management?
And, I wonder, what is Haley living on these days---is she getting paid by these appearances in NYC, at the Skybar? They are for charity, right?
Who is paying her band and for travel? For Vegas, I am guessing the hotel paid for her travel, gave her rooms, etc. Probably the band is paid on a case by case basis depending on the event I am guessing.
I am guessing she got some money for her songs being used by ABC, ESPN, etc, but remember she co-wrote those songs, so would have to split royalties.
Oh well.....some random questions....
The touring aspect of the biz is what I'm not very clued up on. I know that headlining gigs are sponsored by companies, often radio stations, of course the bigger the act the better the sponsorship. Touring can be costly for a band if they can't get adequate sponsorship. Opening acts usually don't earn too much and with 360 deals the label gets a cut from tour revenue.
I'm not sure who's footing what for Haley and her band.
