What we don't take.

A flat subscription is the whole deal. There's no fine print where we siphon royalties on the back end.

0%

Of your master royalties

Every dollar your recordings earn goes to you. Spotify streams, Apple downloads, the whole thing — yours.

0%

Of your publishing

Mechanical, performance, sync — all 100% yours. We administer the collection; you keep what's collected.

100%

Ownership stays with you

You own your masters and your compositions. We're a service provider, not a label. Cancel and your music's still yours.
