Sierra Seville


Sierra is a pop starlet waiting to happen. She is three months shy of seventeen and was discovered at her local shopping mall by a modelling agent two years ago. She was then heard singing before a shoot by a marketing executive from another record label. Her canny manager turned down their offer of a six figure sum to secure a recording contract and is now shopping around. She has had song offers from Gary Barlow and the team behind Brittany Spears’ comeback album. She can dance and pose, but her singing is of dubious quality without a significant amount of digital technology. However, there is no doubt at all that, following the current glut of blonde, wobbly headed girl acts, the market is going mental for this kind of thing.

I represent a major label and I choose this artist as she is young and fits within the teenage pop scene. She would appeal to an already exsisting audience which is pre-teens and young teenagers. Also i believe she has the potential to generate a large number of sales.

I would offer her 10% royalties as she would probably not be writing any of the music like many pop acts today.
An advance of £50,000 as she has already been offered previous record deals.
I would also propose a reserve of £100,000 as I think her album will sell well eventhough alot of her target audience contribute mostly to the illegal sharing of files.

We were acting as the major label, the fat cats, we chose this artist because she is young and a fresh face and she would appeal to teenagers listening to pop music, an audience already existing. We think that she has the potential to make a huge number of sales. Our label decided to offer 10% royalties as she wouldn’t actually be writing any other the songs herself. We would offer her an advance of £50,000 as she has already got interest from other labels and we decided to make a reserve of £100,000 we believe her albums will sell rather well to the target audience.
