Sony has committed to producing at least two albums with Unlocking the Truth — and it has an option for four more records.
Guitarist Malcolm Brickhouse, 13, bassist Alec Atkins, 13, and drummer Jarad Dawkins, 12 — who have played at gigs all over the country, including appearances at Coachella festival in California and opening for Guns N’ Roses — are promised an advance of $60,000 for their first recording. The second record could net them an advance as much as $350,000.
If Sony sticks with them for all six albums, the kids could be raking in as much as $1.7 million.
