LOS ANGELES, Nov. 10, 2015 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Brian Schall, an entertainment lawyer at Wolf, Rifkin, Shapiro, Schulman & Rabkin, LLP (WRSS&R), helps "The Voice" winner, Craig Wayne Boyd, sever ties with a record label that was reportedly "clueless" when it came to launching his country music career. Schall's extensive knowledge navigating complicated music contracts quickly paid off, as Boyd was successfully released from his agreement and later able to launch his career according to his own standards.
"As someone who had already spent ample years dealing with setbacks and miscommunications in the music industry, Craig understood the importance of having a trusted attorney on his team," said Schall. According to Boyd and his music manager, when he showed up at his new music label ready to work, the executives at the label were unable to convert Boyd's success on the show to success in the mainstream music industry. Boyd wanting to immediately launch his career after winning "The Voice" told Schall, "to do what was necessary on his behalf to amicably part ways with his record label and leverage his win on 'The Voice' in the best possible way."
After successfully cutting ties with the record label, Boyd, who has a large and loyal fan base, signed with a major talent agency introduced to him by Schall and commenced touring the country not only singing songs he performed on season 7 of "The Voice" but also singing songs embodied on his upcoming studio album due for release in early 2016. In a recent interview, the country artist attributed much of his recent success (and freedom) over the past year to Schall.
For the past 20 years, Brian Schall has provided legal advisement for a bevy of well-known musicians, songwriters, DJs, and producers. Additionally, as part of the lauded Wolf, Rifkin, Shapiro, Schulman & Rabkin law group, he has worked with many of Los Angeles' biggest entertainment executives and music publishing companies.
