•Can I perform my songs live even though they are not registered with the Copyright Office?
•Does the ‘poor man’s copyright’ protect me?
•When should I register my songs with the Copyright Office?
•What should I look for in a single song publishing contract? What should I avoid?
•When do I need an agreement with my co-writer(s)? What does that look like?
•An artist wants to record one of my songs. What do I do to make sure I get my royalties?
• What legal document do I need to license my music to a movie or TV? What does that look like?
•Should I have my own publishing company? If so, how do I set one up?
•And much more!

As the collective attention span shrinks, Eddie Canyon finds himself searching for meaning within the noise. Reaching into and around his Arkansas roots, Eddie carves a distinctively southern Hip Hop undercurrent in his exploratory approach to music. Weaving tales of battling addiction, thoughts on spirituality, and irreverent social commentary into his lyrics, Eddie aims to intrigue his audience at the least, and at most, leave them with a liberating degree of thoughtfulness. In his own words: “The Matrix is real, but there’s a way out.” Support on Spotify or Bandcamp.
