Vocal Tech Sues For Undisclosed Amount On Justin Bieber Featured Songs

One of Justin Bieber’s vocal technicians is suing his manager, Scooter Braun, for alleged nonpayment.

According to the lawsuit,  Chris “Tek” O’Ryan isn’t able to put a number on how much he’s owed because Justin’s team “aren’t able to provide a royalty on songs on which Justin is featured since they aren’t released by his label.”

Tek alleges that their previous 2018 agreement “simply entitled him to a point on any recording he engineered that was not featured for a performance.” 

He engineered thirteen tracks for Justin’s next album (the “Justice Tracks”).

Tek insists that he was only notified after he had already completed the work that “his entitlement to a point on any recordings was considered to be purely within their discretion, and that he could not necessarily expect to receive a royalty on any of the Justice Tracks.”

In 2020, Tek reportedly emailed Justin’s team to go over their previous agreement, saying, “it was very clear that $2K + a point was our new deal moving forward on all Justin tuning and not on a case-by-case situation.”

Scooter Braun replied, “Tek I appreciate you but I need to have a conversation with Josh as we didn’t know you are on some songs and some songs I have given too many pts to the producers.”

Although it seems that Braun was not denying the terms of the agreement, the court documents seem to indicate that Braun had already reallocated Tek’s point to someone else.
