Thank you all for your responses. I called the musician up, and told him 3% was non-negotiable. He called back today and accepted.

I can't offer any advice on royalty rates, I have published works on a major multi-platform title but it was fixed rate.

I do gratis work on projects that have reached demo stage. However if the demo gets publisher backing then I am usually quite negotiable for fixed/royalty payment. I guess once you hear a demo of the artist's work it's easier to figure out how much they're worth.
