A5828-1-K: Writer Needs Assistance with Collaboration Agreement

Artist has been a singer/songwriter/actor for over 20 years. Artist met another artist (AP # 1) on TikTok.  Artist was invited with another (AP #2) to work together on a musical. Each writer was responsible for creating a character and placing that character in a particular world. The parties have been working on the musical for 3 years. The terms for the work were established through a series of emails. Recently, Artist was locked out of the Drive where documents were stored and the co-writers have been non-communicative and has been provided with a contract that does not reflect the terms previously established. Given his character is based on Artist's life, Artist is most concerned with being able to control the character and character's story. Artist seeks assistance in reviewing and negotiating the agreement for rights in his work and its exploitation.
