"As a songwriter who produces my own music, the new TIDAL songwriter tool makes a noticeable difference by giving me a straight-forward look at my catalog to make sure I'm getting accurate royalties," said singer-songwriter
Getting organized to get paid properly
Songwriters juggle a mix of collection societies, publishing platforms, royalty management services, streaming services, and single-purpose apps to manage their royalties, careers, and catalog. With these new tools, songwriters can sign up for TIDAL Artist Home and organize their IPI, PRO, and publisher information in one place. Songwriters will also be prompted to sign up for the Mechanical Licensing Collective (MLC).Artists who are registering with a PRO for the first time can sign up with the PRO AllTrack.
“To begin collecting royalties on their songs, creators need to sign up with the proper rights organizations—altogether a confusing process for most,” explains AllTrack Founder and CEO
Managing works
Works registration is essential for songwriters to earn and maximize royalties from their catalog. On TIDAL, songwriters can view their works categorized into three groups: Completed Works, Works Without Recordings, and Unmatched Recordings. With collaborative split sheets, songwriters can unlock better rightsholder tracking and invite collaborators to sign off on their shares, enabling better documentation of ownership. Songwriters with teams can invite their managers and publishers to help manage their works with the team roles tool.
Making sense of metadata
Music metadata determines who gets credited and paid from a track or album. But the existing process is complicated and broken, impacting the accuracy of royalty collection. As principal contributors, songwriters deserve to be recognized for their music. Songwriters can easily view and manage their credits and metadata in TIDAL Artist Home to ensure their works are correctly matched and registered, helping them earn money.
“Creating music sustainably in today’s world is difficult, especially for songwriters who need to establish and manage their identities in order to receive recognition and fulfill their earning potential,” said
US based songwriters can claim a songwriter profile at tidal.com/forsongwriters.
