Narrative

Right now, money a client has earned is accumulating somewhere they cannot reach it.

Take a three years into the work, strings on albums, backing vocals on singles, piano on film scores. They are on dozens of recordings; their name is in the liner notes.

Every time one of those recordings plays on radio, in a restaurant, or on a TV soundtrack, a small payment is generated for them, the performer's neighbouring right. But that money only flows if the performer has registered to collect it. Most never do, and an adviser who spots this is finding money the client did not know existed.
