Music publishing is a complex topic in the music industry. There's a lot of moving pieces when it comes to music publishing and it's easy to get overwhelmed about publishing when you're trying to collect all your music royalties as a singer songwriter, producer, or rapper. I tried to break it down in the simplest form to help you understand music publishing.

Will you speak more about those sync royalties .. you said other publishing entities? But is it possible to go more in depth about that? Thank you 😊

@nanaaraj 3 года назад

Thank you for your advice. I’m an independent artist myself. I’ve been selling my music since 2019, but didn’t have a lot of support from my fans. I think it’s about selling it right to the public which is why I want sign up for music publishing on Ditto. I’ve been emerging since 2017 and I started just releasing my music without it published. Now I’m gonna be working at a full time job , I’ll get enough income. I realise now to have a better music sale, it would be good for me to do publishing because then you can reach out to more audience and it looks professional. You also get royalties.

What is an independent artist

@ericdavidwallace 2 года назад

This was extremely helpful and insightful, Thank you for posting this. Seems like the wild west for independent Musicians but a fortune could be made if you do things right for yourself it seems.

Hey Charles, first of all great video - very clear and to the point. I had a question i was watching another video where the guy said when you get the publishing deal you would need to transfer the copyright to the publishing company. Is this a different type of copyright? or is this incorrect information - Just trying to see what limitations going with a publishing company has in regard to songwriter copyright. Thanks

@CharlesCleyn Год назад

hey carl, i think that might be a different copyright, when you get a publishing deal, you might give up a lot of your "publishing" but i've never heard of giving up your copyright. i mean, you can. but then you're saying someone else wrote the song really, right?

@system2213 Год назад

Thanks for the info Charles. What's the best way to approach a larger publisher like Sony with your song/s? Do they typically accept demos or do you just have to put your music on RU-vid and let a publisher approach you if you're lucky enough that they are somehow exposed to it?

what do you mean by sync royalties? which group in canada collects those? are those royalties for the publishing of the song or for the master recording? I get money from SOCAN for songs played on TV but I don't get any royalties for the masters when the song is played on TV/Netflix- should I be?

I found your channel today. I watched two videos and found them extremely insightful. You explain things very clearly, and I thank you for that. So, I'm recording new songs daily, and would like to publish some of them. I was thinking of using the service of either CD baby, Distrokid or OneRPM. Not sure what's the best one and I'd love for you to expand on this. Lorenzo

@CharlesCleyn 3 года назад

Good video. I am seeking a publisher for my songs, not an admin published but full publisher. But my challenges, are I get no response from any company about any songs. I have sent out a lot. I am not living near sny music city center. I am not a singer per se, so my demos are not ideal. Also, my songs are not mixed, it is just me zad guitar and phone. Also, i only see big music oublushers, so it is too difficult. Feedback kindly. Cheers

@PromoMIAR 2 года назад

Thanks Charles. I'm a little unclear still. I have registered all my works with PROs as a CA (Composer/Author). I have released music non exclusively with a Record Label but I never signed a Publishing deal ever. I believe that makes my the "publisher". Do I need to re-register all the works as a Published also so in fact, there is 2 entries for each work?

@benjiebarker 2 года назад

Is it possible for me to get my song on spotify without cdbaby, distrokid, etc?

@TheDustypiano 2 года назад

Hi Charles, Thank you for the video. What would be the best approach for a indie songwriter getting ghost writing opportunities? Say if someone had 100+ finished songs just doing nothing. Do you reach out to publishers? Labels? up coming Artist's? I'm not a singer, and write for my band, so some get produced, but have so many songs I write that don't, Ideally I would be able to monetise all these songs I am making. Any advice or information with this would be great! Thanks

@songsfromtheriverhouse4118 2 года назад

is it crazy to sign a 5 year exclusive deal in which you give 100% of publishing to the company? this is big company but the not the top 4 you mentioned. they do international and therefore have sub contracts in place... but 100%? ouch. thanks for any response.

@CharlesCleyn 2 года назад

ya, 100%. That's a big ouch. I'm not sure the benefit unless they give you incredible exposure to your other music. Might be worth it but hard for me to say.

Hi Charles been watching all your videos..- so if I write my own songs am i the publisher? Then if i were to sign up with an admin publishing company, am they now the publisher? Or would i still remain the publisher and they are she publishing *Administrator*? Because im not sure who to designate under publisher when I eventually sign up with ASCAP or BMI

@CharlesCleyn 3 года назад

Hey Jex, thanks for watching my videos. To answer your question, yes, if you're independent then you are your own publisher. When you sign up for something like ASCAP or BMI then they become your PRO (Performing Rights Organization). They are not your publisher but they will help you collect your performance rights. Does that help?

@Jexmusic 3 года назад

@@CharlesCleyn thank you for fast reply!! So refreshing. And sorry I meant that if I, an independent artist and my own publisher, once I sign up with an admin publishing company like Songtrust, TuneCore, Sentric etc, would they then become my “publisher” and I’m no longer the publisher? (+therefore keep any publishing royalties when I sign up with a PRO?)

@@Jexmusic This is the million dollar question no one want to be transparent about.
