    Take the contract to a lawyer who specialises in the music business before you sign anything, you can probably find one on the net. Make sure you have full copyright on any original songs you record and beware of advances, you can end up owing them allot of money. It will cost you quite a bit for the lawyers advice but I assure you it's worth it. Totally ripped off Grumpy old musician.

    At this point it will pay to remember that anything not in writing is not legally binding. Don't sign any contract without having it checked by a lawyer. Small print can bite you hard, so make sure you have it checked out. And good luck!

    Your question makes little experience. in case you would be attending music camp then you definitely'll actual be appearing in front of others, so I fail to work out how shyness is your concern. in case you are able to arise with the money for to return to the US for music camp, as maximum Latin human beings won't be able to, i do no longer see the form you're lacking in possibilities. i don't understand why you think of you would be able to desire to circulate everywhere at sixteen once you admit it takes a super sort of perplexing artwork, endurance, and success to develop right into a action picture star. there will be a super sort of time for all that. you're unlikely to lose your expertise or lose your music, and there is not any reason you would be able to desire to forget approximately doing what you appreciate. If it is a normal phobia approximately appearing the answer is comparable to for all phobias: slowly divulge your self to the ingredient you're fearful of till you develop into gentle doing it, as quickly as you recognize it would not relatively harm you.
