Music publishing refers to the money you make when people or businesses use your original, copyrighted music. Whether your song is streamed or sold in the U.S., played on TV or in a bar in Europe, or used in a movie in Asia, you may be entitled to royalties.
As a global publishing administrator, Songtrust helps you save time and earn more by automatically collecting the royalties you’re owed. Songwriters, artists, managers, labels, and publishers use our platform to simplify the administration of music publishing assets, performing rights, and digital licensing.

You automatically create new revenue streams while avoiding sub-publishing fees and maintaining your independence. More than 100 songs and/or 30 writers? We can help you with bulk registration, too.
We believe in giving you access to the information that can assist you in making informed business decisions for yourself. It’s why the entire Songtrust platform is self-service and why you get detailed data revealing song usage and performance insights. It’s transparent. It’s nontraditional.
