Can a minor sign a record deal?

However, if the minor doesn’t cancel contract after turning 18, it’s likely that the contract will become binding.
Can a 14 year old enter into a contract?
Minors (those under the age of 18, in most states) lack the capacity to make a contract. So a minor who signs a contract can either honor the deal or void the contract. There are a few exceptions, however. For example, in most states, a minor cannot void a contract for necessities like food, clothing, and lodging.
Is a minor’s signature legally binding?
