Recording Artists on sound recordings are divided into three categories: Featured Performer, Non-Featured Performer, and Other Featured Performer:
Featured Performer
A Featured Performer is an individual Performing Artist in whose name the CD/track was recorded, or a member of a band and who made a performing contribution to the recorded performance.
Non-Featured Performer
A Non-Featured Performer is a Performing Artist who has been engaged for a fixed period of time, customarily known in the industry as a session, specifically to make one or more recorded backing performances which subsequently are included in the sound recording. This includes a studio producer who makes a performing contribution to the recorded performance.
Other Featured Performer
An Other Featured Performer is a guest recording artist whose contribution would ordinarily fall within the Non-Featured Performer status, but merits Featured status.
