Frequently Asked Questions

Narcissist Music Group is an independent, artist-first record label focused on long-term artist development. NMG provides distribution and release delivery, release strategy, marketing guidance, copyright and infringement support, royalty administration, and creative support.

Artists apply through the Apply page. There is no application fee. NMG aims to review applications within 7–14 days, but review times may vary.

Under NMG's standard model, artists retain 100% ownership of their masters, copyright, publishing, trademarks, and other intellectual property. Revenue sharing is separate from ownership. Exact terms are governed by the signed agreement.

The intended standard model is 70% to the artist and 30% to NMG on net revenue for releases covered by the agreement. This is a revenue split, not an ownership split. Exact definitions and terms are governed by the signed agreement.

There is no upfront signing fee under the standard artist partnership. This does not mean every optional future service will always be free. Any optional paid service would be disclosed separately.

Royalty reporting and payout methods depend on the applicable distribution setup and signed agreement. Specific payout methods, schedules, and processing arrangements will be defined by the terms applicable to each partnership.

The intended standard agreement allows termination with 30 days' written notice, subject to outstanding royalty accounting, release obligations, distributor processing or takedown timelines, and the signed agreement. Accrued royalties remain payable.
