Gourlie Gang
The ultimate collaboration crew
The Gourlie Gang is an exclusive collaboration community. Upon joining you will get access to the Gourlie Gang private Instagram where we post works in progress which are “up for grabs” for any artists in the group to collaborate on.
HOW DOES IT WORK?
1) APPLY BELOW
Fill out the form below to apply to be a part of the group. Submit your best work which highlights your strengths as an artist.
2) Get INVITED
If I think your work stacks up I will invite you to the private Instagram group where I share projects open for everyone to collaborate on.
3) Let the fun begin!
Once accepted to the Instagram, keep an ear open for tracks I’m sharing that you are vibing with. If you hear something you like, let me know and we’ll start collaborating on it together!
Who can apply?
Anyone can submit an application using the form below! Before you apply though, here are some considerations.
Skillz
While it doesn’t matter if you know anything about music production, you do need to be skilled in whatever your musical craft is. Whether you’re a singer or instrumentalist you gotta be able to do your part and create good music. If you’re still learning your craft reach out to me another way and I can maybe give you some tips!
Audio Quality
You need to be able to capture high-quality .WAV files of your music. Even if you’re an amazing artist, I can’t do a whole lot with bad audio files. If you got skill but don’t have the tech, let me know and I can make some suggestions of “affordable” setups.
Following
It doesn’t matter whether you have a huge following or not. The whole idea of this channel is to grow together and if you’re just starting out then maybe I can help get some fans your way!
What do we do with the collabs?
Once we’re ready to launch a collaboration, I’ll launch it on all Gourlie Records channels as well as make a breakdown video, featuring you the whole way with links to all of your channels. As the channel grows, so do you!
When the track gets put on streaming services, all artists involved will receive an equal share in the revenue split (distributed via DistroKid).
Any elements you contribute (lyrics, melodies, etc) are still yours to use freely as you wish. You maintain all the rights to your own work.

terms & Conditions
I know this part is boring and seems very corporate… but given the muddiness of this the industry and the goals to grow this channel significantly, I just want to clarify some terms which protect both of us.
By joining the Gourlie Gang, working with Gourlie Records (GR) and submitting content you agree to the following terms:
Rights
You acknowledge that any part of the collaborations you contribute consist entirely of your own original work and that the material does not infringe on the copyrights of others. GR is not responsible for any content you submit that violates copyright law.
Any content you submit to GR is still yours to use freely but you are granting GR the right to use and promote your content. Anytime your content is being used by GR you will always be credited accordingly.
Confidentiality
You agree to not share any content from the Gourlie Gang private Instagram with anyone outside of the group. You also agree not to release any tracks we’re working on before an agreed upon release date. No tracks will be released until all artists involved have consented to the release.
Content
If submitting lyrics to GR, you agree that your lyrics don’t contain any hate speech against a group (be it race, sexuality, religion, etc) and that your lyrics don’t call for violence against any individual or group.
Payment
When tracks are uploaded to streaming services, they will be uploaded by GR onto DistroKid and every artist involved in the track will receive an equal revenue share. Payment will be distributed automatically by DistroKid. An account on DistroKid will be required to disburse payments. If you decline to signup for a DistroKid account, then GR will send your earnings to you manually every year via PayPal. Know that there is a few months delay between when tracks are streamed and when DistroKid posts data and earnings.
Changes
GR reserves the right to update and make changes to these terms.
