Behind every song are the people who made it, and the rights should reflect that. When the splits are agreed, the songs are registered and the statements are checked, writers and artists can stop thinking about them and put their attention back where it belongs: on the next song.
Music that earns can still leave money on the table when splits are unclear, works are not registered or statements go unchecked. That is the part we take care of.
From session to statement
- Splits and credits between writers, producers and artists, agreed before release
- Masters and publishing: who owns the recording, who controls the song, for how long and on what terms
- Registrations with Buma/Stemra, Sena and their counterparts abroad
- Accurate metadata, from ISRC and ISWC to writer and producer credits, checked before delivery and corrected where needed
- Royalty statements: what came in, what was deducted and what is still missing
Thinking in catalogues
Masters, copyrights and catalogues are assets, and decisions about them last much longer than a single release. We look at what a term means in the long run, not only for this release, and build catalogues sustainably, with ownership and value staying with the people who made the music.
Publishing through The Music Hub
For songwriters who want their works represented and administered, publishing runs through The Music Hub, the music company we run with Rowan Smeets.
