INDEPENDENT ARTISTS & MUSICIANS
Creative freedom backed by legal strength
Creative ideas shape the world—and the artists behind them deserve protection as powerful as their vision. Too often, I’ve seen talented creatives fall victim to predatory contracts and exploitative deals disguised as golden opportunities. These misleading promises can lead to devastating outcomes, including the loss of ownership over their work and long-term control of their careers.
At KC Legal, I’m committed to helping independent artists and creatives safeguard their intellectual property, understand their rights, and confidently navigate an industry that doesn’t always play fair.
