How do I get paid ? ( Royalties ? Performance/ Publishing Royalties ? )
Music artists can make music in a variety of ways, depending on their style, genre, and personal preferences. Here are some of the most common ways that music artists make money from their music:
Performances: Live performances are a significant source of income for many music artists. They can earn money from ticket sales, merchandise sales, and sometimes even from sponsorships or endorsements.
Royalties from releases: When an artist releases music, they can earn royalties from the sale of physical copies, digital downloads, and streaming services. These royalties are typically split between the artist, the record label, and any songwriters or producers involved in the creation of the music.
Radio plays: Artists can also earn royalties when their music is played on the radio. These royalties are typically paid to the songwriter and the publisher of the music. This is collected by a royalty collecting society ( such as ASCAP, BMI, PRS Etc.. ) and not responsibility of the record label.
Publishing royalties: If an artist writes their own music, they can earn publishing royalties when their music is licensed for use in films, TV shows, commercials, video games, and other media. These royalties are typically split between the songwriter and the publisher.
Sync licensing: Artists can also earn money by licensing their music for use in advertisements, TV shows, movies, and other media. These fees can vary widely depending on the scope and nature of the use.
Overall, music artists make money from a combination of performances, royalties from releases, radio plays, publishing royalties, and sync licensing.
What is a Publishing company ? ( PRS )
A music publishing company is a company that represents songwriters and composers by managing and monetizing their musical compositions. The primary role of a music publishing company is to ensure that its clients' compositions are being used legally and fairly, and to collect royalties on their behalf for the use of their music.
In general, music publishing companies handle the administrative and legal aspects of the music business, including the registration of songs with performance rights organizations (PROs) like PRS, negotiating licenses for the use of music, and collecting and distributing royalties to the songwriters and composers.
Some specific services that music publishing companies may offer include:
Songwriting and composition consultation and support
Sync licensing for use in TV shows, films, commercials, and other media
Copyright registration and protection
Royalty collection and distribution
Creative pitching and placement opportunities
Business and legal affairs support
Music publishing companies typically earn a percentage of the royalties generated by their clients' music, usually around 10-20%. This compensation allows them to continue providing services and support to their clients and helps ensure that the music industry operates fairly and efficiently.
