‍Overview

Big Brain Label is an independent record label based in Miami, specializing in Latin Gospel/Christian music. Founded by Challenge Salcedo, the label represents artists such as Kairo Worship, whose hit song "Hermoso Momento" has garnered 13 million streams on Spotify and includes a remix with the famous Latin artist, Farruko.

The Challenge: Multiple Legal Needs for Expanding Business

As Kairo Worship's career began to skyrocket, Salcedo faced increasingly complex legal needs. Being a touring band, Kairo required multiple types of contracts, from agreements with promoters and event producers to musicians’ hire contracts and riders. Salcedo also needed licenses for derivative works like translations, remixes, and interpolations of "Hermoso Momento." On top of that, Kairo’s upcoming album demanded split sheets and other music release-related documents. The big challenge? Salcedo needed a solution that could keep up with the growing demands of their career while ensuring all contracts were bilingual (Spanish and English) to accommodate global collaborations.

“Flou is a game-changer for independent labels like us. It lets us do 80% of the work and only use our legal team for the 20% they are best at. I love that I can send contracts on the road or in the studio, and get people to sign them from their phone,” says Challenge Salcedo, CEO & Founder of Big Brain Label.

The Requirements: What Did Big Brain Need?

Salcedo needed an all-in-one platform that could:

• Provide access to various music contract templates.
• Enable easy editing and personalization of contracts.
• Support custom template creation.
• Allow team collaboration on contracts.
• Simplify the entire contract management process.
• Handle bilingual contracts (Spanish and English) for global collaborations.
• Offer a personalized demo to understand the platform's full capabilities.

The Solution: All-In-One Platform for Contract Needs

Flou delivered exactly what Big Brain Label needed. The platform provided an all-in-one solution where Salcedo could draft, sign, and store all contracts in a centralized place. Flou's ever-growing library of customizable templates helped the label save thousands of dollars in legal fees. Big Brain Label's contracts were templatized to streamline the creation of documents like touring agreements. Now, creating contracts is as simple as adding the signer’s details, payment information, and hitting "send."

For split sheets, Flou’s EZ Splits feature enabled Salcedo to input writer information once, and the platform automatically generated the split sheet in under 40 seconds. Additionally, Flou provided licenses for derivative works, making it easier for Big Brain Label to handle all of its legal needs as the band’s career grew.

"With Flou’s EZ Splits, what used to take hours now takes under 40 seconds. I never thought contract management could be this fast, even as our label grows," says Salcedo.

The Results

Big Brain Label now enjoys legal peace of mind, knowing everything is organized and easily accessible in one platform. They’ve transformed their contract creation process, eliminating time-consuming tasks and managing contracts effortlessly, even while on the go. This newfound efficiency allows Salcedo and his team to focus on what truly matters—developing their artists.

"One of my values is transparency. And Flou is the perfect way for us to be 100% transparent with our artists. They have access to their own contracts, in plain simple language, and easy to understand."
