Whatever his contract specifies. That's how a record label deals with an artist. They both sign a contract, the terms usually dictated by the label. If he is popular enough, he can ask for more money or go somewhere else.

The music lawyer representing the artist also does his job representing the interests of the artist. The lawyer(s) for the label (independent or major) represents the interests of the record label.

Asking for more money from the advance that a contract offers that must be paid back before earnings is a key factor prior to signing. The legal issues best handled by a music lawyer as a real estate agent represents a seller or buyer. The job of the artist is to sell recording product for the label and the investors which have to be repaid first before profits.

Is it better to sign to an independent record label or major?

The answer to this depends on what you are looking for out of a label. Personally I think that an independent record label is the way to go in the modern market. You will have more flexibility as an artist and are likely to stay out of a 360 deal. Major Record labels aren't as wealthy as they used to be so they will squeeze every penny they can out of an artist. Again, it all depends on the type of career you are trying to have. Good luck!
