Contracts Decoded: A Music Lawyer Breaks Down a Real Contract, Line by Line | EQ Music Summit - MIA

In this workshop, entertainment attorney Somara Jacques walks a room of artists, producers, and managers through a music contract one clause at a time, explaining in plain language what each part actually means and why it matters for an artist's career. The contract she works from is public record, and it's linked below so you can follow along with her. Filmed live at EQ No. 2 on August 18, 2026, at Ampersand Studios in Miami. Follow along with the contract: https://drive.google.com/file/d/11ASZ... About EQ EQ is a monthly DIY music industry summit in Miami, free to attend, produced by PeoplePlacesThingsMiami. It exists to give Miami's artists the access their talent already earned. For too long, making it here has meant leaving here for rooms in LA, Atlanta, and New York that Miami never built for itself. EQ builds those rooms at home. Every edition runs one working session like this one, led by a professional in the industry. There are free professional headshots in the first 90 minutes, and there's The Demo Room, where an artist plays about a minute of unreleased music for the room and gets honest feedback from peers and industry. Everyone in the room works in music or is building something in it. EQ is a PeoplePlacesThingsMiami event. PPTM has covered Miami's scene since 2021, and every daily post carries a local artist's song. EQ is that same commitment, off the feed and in a room. 🎥 Shot by Lyndon Will for PeoplePlacesThingsMiami Follow EQ Instagram:   / eqmusicsummit   Web: https://eq.peopleplacesthingsmiami.com Follow PeoplePlacesThingsMiami Instagram:   / peopleplacesthingsmiami   Web: https://peopleplacesthingsmiami.com
