A lawyer, Ademola Adefolaju, has stressed the need for the sanctity of contracts in the entertainment sector.
He said it was the only way the sector could continue to add value to the economy.
He spoke when an upcoming music act, Orewale Adewale Mayowa, with the stage name Whally, signed a deal with Dosh Entertainment Empire Record Label.
The label is owned by Sunday Stephen Aladeyekun, popularly known as Dosh Lowkee, in Lagos.
Adefolaju, who is the counsel for Doshlowkee Entertainment Limited, said signing the new entrant was a good development for all parties.
He urged both established and upcoming artists not to entertain any fear about dealing with the company.

“All terms and agreements signed by parties will be fully observed without any regret,” he said.
Whally said he chose Dosh Entertainment because the label boss had been his benefactor.
“I’ve seen how he has been helping people grow out there, not only artists, so that inspired me more.
“I’m confident that together we can achieve great things and make a meaningful impact in the music industry,” he said.
The 18-year-old, who is a rapper and afrobeat musician, claimed to be taking after two American rappers – Katorah Kasanova Marrero popularly called MA and Rodrick Wayne Moore a.k.a. Roddy Ricch.
He said: “I’ve always been rapping and trapping since I’ve been into music and I just decided to try out some other genres like R&B, Reggae, Fuji and Afro.
“But I only find it easy to do something on Afrobeat and the delivery was so much easier for me.
“It felt like freedom because rap and trap aren’t something easy you know, so I’m in love with Afrobeat and I’m addicted to it
“My mentors are Young MA. She made me start doing rap music because that was the first genre of music I started doing. I can’t get over her songs.
“I’m addicted and I enjoy listening to Roddy Ricch also.”
Whally advised youths to use their God-given talents for their betterment.
He said: “If you can dream it then you definitely can do it, no matter what it is.
“Pursue your passion, be dedicated, stay consistent and give it whatever it takes.
“Remember every small step counts, so keep pushing and never stop believing in yourself, so that you can be useful to yourself and the nation at large.”
