Broward County Judge releases 16 year old Singer Morgan Hayes from a recording contract signed with Pop Starz Records for their non-performance. Morgan Hayes, now managed by N-Vision Entertainment is looking forward to a new start with a new label and recording contract.
(PRWEB) November 16, 2007 -- Yesterday, Broward County (Ft. Lauderdale, Florida) Judge Robert Carney issued an order freeing 16 year old singer Morgan Hayes from a recording contract signed with Miami Beach based Pop Starz Records, Inc. (IN THE CIRCUIT COURT OF THE SEVENTEENTH JUDICIAL CIRCUIT IN AND FOR BROWARD COUNTY, FLORIDA - CASE NO: 07-014786)
Morgan, a winner of Disney Radio's National Sing Like A Star competition, had signed with Pop Starz, but after a recording session in Nashville, and the resignation of Pop Starz's President and head of A&R, Morgan announced that she had opted to disavow the contract, since Pop Starz had failed to fulfill their promises to record an LP and obtain the necessary endorsement of the contract by the Court. The Judge ruled that Florida law allows Morgan to disavow the contract because Pop Starz had failed to obtain Court approval of the contract under Florida's version of the so-called "Jackie Coogan" law; a statute that makes certain contracts of minors working in the entertainment and sports industries to be binding.
Morgan's attorney, Richard C. Wolfe, of Wolfe & Goldstein, P.A. in Miami said "Morgan is an incredible and unique talent. Due to the mass resignation of Pop Starz's Management Team, we lost all confidence in Pop Starz's ability to bring Morgan to the forefront of the music industry. Therefore, she properly exercised her rights under the law to disavow as Judge Carney so found." Wolfe, a co-draftsman of that statute, said, "the Florida statute was designed to protect both minors and record companies. The Judge recognized that the welfare of the child is of paramount concern."
"Morgan will continue to write and record great new songs," said Morgan's new Managers Tierekka "Reek" Walker and Nicole "Bentley" Ippolito of N-Vision Entertainment. "We look forward to setting up showcases with more record labels to secure a recording contract.". Morgan said "she's excited about her new management team and moving forward with her career."
