We call these the label's best kept secret because they owe producers billions in them.
Labels owe producers master royalties after the producer's advance AND the song or album expenses recoup. This typically happens around 20+ million Spotify streams (check streams here).
Labels DO NOT automatically send these once producers are owed them. Each label has a unique system they use to distribute these royalties. The labels make this process extremely complicated and sometimes impossible to get through without someone who has relationships with the royalty departments. We have built the relationships and systems to streamline this process by going through the process more than anyone.
If you have a song you might be owed master royalties for, we suggest attempting to log into each of the label's royalty portals (link below). If you do not have an account with them then you are almost definitely not collecting them.

Note: We have helped producers claim over $140,000 in master royalties for a single song, so do not sleep on collecting these!
If someone stole your beat or loop, this is the service for you. We'll take on the role of your manager, reach out to the artist's team, negotiate for you, get your advance is paid out, and ensure your contracts are properly signed to collect your SoundExchange and publishing royalties.
We've cleared over 300 placements for producers, and have relationships with most lawyers and managers already. We know what to ask for and how to ask for it. We also have a song takedown strategy that almost always get the process moving, but doesn't actually require the song to come down. Work with the best to get those tracks paid out!
We believe every producer should either be signed with a publishing admin, OR have a plan for finding a publishing deal within the next year. Whether you're looking for a publishing deal or prefer to register your music yourself while you build your catalog, we provide clear guidance to maximize the value of your publishing earnings.
We have relationships with most of the major publishers and can shop your catalog around to find you the best publishing deal with a large advance or higher royalty rate -depending on your goals.
Note: Streams generate two types of publishing royalties: public performance AND mechanical royalties. Therefore, BMI, ASCAP, or another performance rights organization collect a fraction of your performance royalties. You typically need a publisher to collect the rest and mechanical royalties.
