frequently asked questions
We
collect your royalties from various sources:
1) Digital service providers – for streaming, downloads and ringtones, etc
We collect royalties for the use of your songs on digital services – Apple Music, iTunes, YouTube, VK, Google Play Music, Spotify, Deezer, Amazon Music, Facebook/Instagram, to mention a few, with which we have direct contracts.
2) CMO’s (Collective Management Organizations) – for public performance of your master recordings
If your music is played on the radio, TV, in cafes, restaurants and other public places, we register your songs in CMO’s, collect and pay out your royalties.
3) Multimedia production companies – for placing your music in mass media
products
We pitch your songs to music supervisors, ad
agencies and production studios, to be chosen for placement in film,
TV, advertising, video games and other audio-visual productions.
There
are several benefits of working with us:
1) Royalty
collection directly from digital service providers
We license your music directly to major and domestic digital services (Apple Music, iTunes, YouTube, VK, Google Play Music, Spotify, Deezer, Amazon Music, Facebook/Instagram and others), without intermediaries. This allows us to increase royalty collections, reduce service charges and speed up your payments and time to release.
2) Modern
technology for repertoire
registration, licensing and royalty distribution
You receive at-source information on every transaction related to your songs, regardless of digital service providers or their location. Our platform gives you full and granular transparency and understanding of your rights and the use of your repertoire.
3) Using
AI for data analysis and increasing royalty collections
AI allows us to process large volumes of data faster, carry out in-depth analysis, identify and remove errors, making recognition processes almost human-like with a power of a machine – thus increasing volume and precision of royalty collections.
4) Customized
approach to each partner
Our experts give you a preliminary assessment of your catalogue and offer mutually beneficial partnership terms. We help you clean and augment your data, provide you with detailed reports on each song and give full clarify on your revenue streams and structure. In the meantime, you always keep 100% of your rights, whether you are an independent author, a label or a publishing company.
We
don’t take any prepayments for our services. We take a reasonable
commission only on the royalties that we collect for you.
