SIGNING A CONTRACT FOR A RECORDING DEAL WITHOUT READING AND UNDERSTANDING THE FINE PRINT.

Hi, I am Marcia Sewell, aka SadaBlue. I have enrolled in the Entertainment Business Master’s Degree Program at Full Sail University with the expectation that over the next twelve

months I will have learnt as much as is taught here about the entertainment

industry . I look forward to the opportunity to meet some of the Masters in this field. I expect

to weather all obstacles, staying the course by holding strongly to the

mast of discipline till I present the final project; the business plan. I am

also looking forward to Graduation Day, the culmination of everyone’s

effort, hard work and time.
