MUSIC PUBLISHERS

They work with songwriters. You assign a % of your copyright to the publisher for a period of time. Their aim is to make sure that your music is used as well as issuing licenses, collecting & distributing, promoting & exploting your songs both mechanical and performing rights on your behalf thoughout the world.

Their revenue is based on the use of your song. The publisher will give you an advance when you sign a deal which is usually recoupable against your royalties. In other words a publisher lends you some money in exchange you write an agreed amount of songs a year for an agreed limited period.

Once your songs get used you can start recouping.
