For Writers, Composers & Artists
Songlaw, in partnership with Grand Entertainment, LLC, can publish your music and manage such needed tasks as:
- Register the works of songwriters and composers with collecting societies and agencies
- License the use of music, whether individual and special usages (e.g. synchronisation deals) or via collecting society networks
- Produce and license the production of printed music
- Monitor and track the use of music and ensure that proper payment is made for all licensed uses
- Make royalty payments to songwriters and composers for the use of their music
- Take appropriate action against anyone using music without the necessary licence
For Music Publishers
If you have your own publishing company and are looking for an administrator, or if you want to publish under a new company, Songlaw is where to get it done. Partnered with Grand Entertainment, LLC out of Nashiville, TN, we can provide all the services of a modern music publisher so you can get back to what you love — making music.
In addition to the services already listed, Songlaw can:
- Produce promotional materials including sample CDs, study scores, brochures, etc.
- Promote composers and songwriters and their music to performers, broadcasters, record companies and others who use music on a commercial basis, both nationally and internationally
- Index works with all the major collecting societies inclusing ASCAP, BMI and SESAC
The music publishing business is a complicated mess of paperwork. Between all the different contracts, copyrights and licenses with composers, writers, agents and performers, enough paper forms are generated to fell a moderate-sized forest. Filling out all those forms, getting them sent in, approved, sent back, signed, etc. takes too much time. The system is still stuck back in the 1970s, when the fax machine was king. Songlaw brings this all into the 21st Century.
Songlaw collects this information online and securely stores it for re-use. Instead of having to fill out the same information every time you have a new song, Songlaw remembers it and you only have to enter the little bit that changes. The completed form is then securely transmitted to Grand Entertainment, LLC who will contact you to answer any questions and finalize business. What used to take weeks can now be completed in as little as three business days.
Songlaw accounts are free, and you are under no obligation by simply creating an account. Publish one song or an entire album, Songlaw doesn't tie you to any future agreements. We just make it simple to publish your music so you can get back to making more. Songlaw makes music publishing simple!
