Music Publishing 101: The quickest way to understand music publishing

Great refresher! The 60 day record label course has been incredibly valuable! Thank you!💪🏼💯

Bruh, SUBBED, thank you!

Does anyone know how much mechanical and performance royalties you get per stream ?

14.5 mins isn’t “quick”.

Amazing stuff

Thanks for sharing this info.
I'm not sure if you can address music tracks in libraries but hopefully you have some info to share....
I belong to a couple of Music Libraries with over 325 tracks uploaded.

But I have one track (two versions, :30 and :15 alt) NOT registered w BMI --- that is used in the radio commercials of a major US retailer for over a year.
For these tracks I am compensated $1,750 a month from the retailer.
I have yet to upload the tracks to any music library.
If I upload to say, Scorekeepers, how does that affect the retailer?

Thanks for any opinion!

I live in Montreal / Canada... the process must be totally different !

Very well explained, great job !

Ugh not really saying much, just bits of the good information but never a complete answer lol back to more research! Thanks!

Thanks for the tips man, i sgined up on Sentric Music, i did a bad deal? or they are great? they system is very simple to use, can you do a video about? thanks in advance, big up from Brazil

How can I contact you ? I have questions

dude thanks!

This shit a real music class. You don’t even got to go to school. Casey Graham be blessed man. Imma make you a legend when people ask who taught me the game 💯

Kudos... Will you be my Manager Brutha??? You're Awesome and Deserves Management checks$$$

I listened to every word and still need to go find another video 😤 Why are multiple accounts required? How much does it cost? How much does publishing pay compared to streams? Is it a yearly fee like DistroKid? And can someone who smoke weed explain it to me lol

This was well made. Very comprehensive. Appreciate it!

Please do a MasterClass ❤

Imma have to setup a call with you soon. Ive purchased the course but I still have a few questions.Mainly on how to go back to collect after making the Publishing Company

Great Information This is my first time Visiting out of desperation to get my music to being heard ( great songs) and to make money, the right way with my music.

Thank you King!!! I definitely will be taking the course soon. The information here was enough to show, you know what you are talking about.

If I just write lyrics, should I try to get as many artists making different song versions of the lyrics or should I just sell those lyrics to one artist. I know you said keep the master and have as many different versions as possible, but that just apply to the song or does it also apply if there's no song, just lyrics?

if mlc is a passthrough entity, why would anyone want to affiliate with bmi/ascap for a greater percentage?

So is distrokid or united masters a publisher?

good video, one question, do I need to hire like a sub-publisher to collect my royalties overseas ??

from Naija. thanks for the great info.

Not sure if this tool is in the course - but Songview is a song ownership tool developed by ASCAP and BMI - I've used Songview on my earlier songs and found out the detailed publishing split CdBaby and Songtrust had on my song "Treasure" which has done well in overseas markets. I cancelled Cdbaby/Songtrust (Cd Baby Pro used Songtrust as pub admin) and now have my Ascap Pub account to collect those publishing royalties.

Here's to my autonomy as an artist! - Subbed! Thanks for looking out!

Much appreciated Bredda⭐😎👈🏿

This man is brilliant!!

I have unique situation I need some guidance please reach out to me so I can explain thanks 💯💯

So all I need is ASCAP to collect all my royalties. Don’t need song trust and sound exchange with it? And is tunecore or cd baby is better?

Wow this is just what I needed. I've definitely been at the crossroads of using CDBABY Pro again or just registering my album with Ascap without them. My dilema was prompted after looking into my ASCAP and seeing CdBaby owned 50% of my copyright and such. It kind of confused me but my takeaway here is that I don't need to give CDBaby those rights and I can simply sign all future projects up through ASCAP directly. Sounds right? Either way you are a valuable resource and I intend on booking you for a call on multiple occasions as I navigate this upcoming release. Blessings.

Excellent! Video Thanks

honestly i love this bro but for those of us in Nigeria, it's more difficult that way. Not all us that is living in the United States and UK. again how are we gonna distribute to streaming platforms if we follow that way? look, I think you should do us a video. do a for Nigerians on how we survive it because are the music companies we have here doesn't work. Tell us how to survive in the business. should we use American Companies or UK?

The 60day record label pro course is 🔥. I wonder though, how much money/budget you'd say is enough to produce and market/promote a new artist with a really dope single and repertoire loaded?

💯🎶

You are very well spoken. Looking forward to looking through your information

Ive noticed songtrust is just a waste of my time i have alot of music i haven't registered yet i think im gonna stop using songtrust from here on out

Ok so hfa,the mlc and music reports collects your mechanicals so do i still need a distributor like a cdbaby or tunecore? Also if my music plays on the radio overseas can bmi collect my public performance overseas or they only can colllect in certain placeses overseas?

Hey casey i have another question do hfa,the mlc and msuic reports do they collect your royalties worldwide?

Hey casey again thank you for this video it was much needed. I have a question i have songtrust i also have music reports i wanted to know if my music is registered with songtrust can i also register them to music reports or do i have to unregistered my music with songtrust to register my music with music reports?

Thank you for making this video I hope you make more videos like this. Music publishing need to be talked about on a consistent basis

Hello from Laguna Beach, California. I am learning so much from you!!!

Can you do a video about music reports I am a bit confused about how they collect
and about BMI being sold that will affect royalties collection ?

Great info. I love the focus on making are own way through the music industry. It’s so many things we now have control over.

Amazing video

💯💯💯🙏🏾

Great info 💪🏾..

Shit storm of Bullshit Distraction, On board. Thank you
