Don’t Miss Out on Songwriting Income – Our Official Partner, Songtrust, Can Help
At Thematic, we’re committed to helping independent musicians grow. From getting your music discovered by creators worldwide to building a sustainable career, exposure is only part of the equation.
That’s why we’ve partnered with Songtrust for their Songtrust Amplified program. Songtrust is the leading global music publishing administrator, to make sure you’re getting paid for every stream, play, and performance worldwide.
What Are Publishing Royalties (and Why Do Most Independent Artists Miss Them)?
Publishing royalties are earnings generated every time your song is streamed, played on the radio, performed live, or used in a video. They’re separate from the recording royalties your distributor collects, and they flow through a completely different system – one that most independent artists are never set up to receive.
If you’ve released music without registering with a publishing administrator, you’ve likely already left money uncollected. It doesn’t disappear – it sits in the system until claimed, or expires.
Don’t Leave Royalties on the Table
We help you get your music into the hands of creators and audiences around the world. But once your music is live, there’s another layer of income being generated behind the scenes: songwriting (publishing) royalties.
This includes earnings from:
- Streaming platforms
- Radio airplay
- International usage
- Public performances
The challenge? Collecting this income is complex. It requires registering your songs with hundreds of collection societies across the globe – something most independent artists simply don’t have the time or knowledge to manage.
As a result, many artists miss out on money they’ve already earned.
