Creative opportunities like sync licensing briefs and pitching music to established artists
Music industry education
Whether you're producing from your bedroom or working with platinum-selling artists, your publishing deserves professional representation.
What Does Elizabeth Music Group Actually Do?
Many musicians think publishing only means "collecting royalties."
Publishing is much larger than that.
Elizabeth Music Group manages numerous aspects of a songwriter's business.
Global Registration
Every composition contains valuable ownership information.
We register songs with collection societies, pay sources, and partners throughout the world to maximize royalty collection.
This includes ensuring:
Songwriter information is correct
Publisher information is accurate
Ownership percentages are correct
Metadata is complete
International registrations are processed
Without proper registration, royalties can remain unclaimed for years.
Publishing Royalty Collection
Many musicians only collect one type of royalty.
In reality, a single song may generate income from numerous sources.
Elizabeth Music Group helps collect publishing income generated from:
Streaming platforms
Radio
Television
Live performances
Mechanical royalties
International societies
Sync licenses
Digital services
User-generated content (such as YouTube videos using your songs)
Commercial uses
Our goal is to maximize every revenue source available.
Monthly Royalty Payments
One feature that separates Elizabeth Music Group from many traditional publishers is our payment philosophy.
Rather than waiting for quarterly or semiannual payment schedules, we distribute royalties monthly whenever we receive royalties.
This provides musicians signed to the Elizabeth Music Group publishing roster with:
More consistent cash flow
Greater transparency
Faster access to earnings
For musicians, receiving publishing royalties sooner can make a meaningful difference.
Sync Licensing Opportunities
One of the benefits of joining Elizabeth Music Group is access to synchronization (sync) licensing opportunities.
A sync license allows your music to be paired with visual media, creating additional income and exposure beyond traditional streaming. Music can be licensed for:
Television series
Feature films
Commercials and advertising campaigns
Video games
Sports broadcasts
Streaming platforms
Brand marketing campaigns
Social media advertising
Documentaries
Movie trailers
Corporate productions
YouTube and digital content
Elizabeth Music Group actively pitches music from our publishing roster for synchronization opportunities whenever a song is the right creative fit. While no publisher can guarantee placements, our team regularly receives sync briefs from music supervisors, advertising agencies, production companies, and creative partners seeking original music across a wide range of genres.
Publishing clients also receive exclusive access to our private Discord community, which serves as the creative hub for our publishing roster. Inside the server, members receive high value sync briefs, music submission opportunities, educational resources, production feedback, networking opportunities, and direct access to our team. Producers, songwriters, composers, and artists can collaborate with other members, participate in virtual studio sessions, discover placement strategies, and stay informed about new sync licensing opportunities as they become available.
Our publishing roster has contributed music that has been featured alongside some of the world's biggest brands, entertainment companies, sports organizations, and media platforms, including Netflix, Pixar, ESPN, Jimmy Kimmel Live!, BET, MTV, the NBA, the NFL, Oreo, Sour Patch Kids, Revolve, GQ Sports, Visa, Etsy, Dyson, Crumbl, Six Flags, Trek Bikes, JanSport, the Chicago Bears, the Dallas Cowboys, the Denver Broncos, and many more.
Our goal is simple: create as many opportunities as possible for our clients by combining global publishing representation with an active creative network that helps great music reach new audiences.
Metadata Management
Incorrect metadata is one of the biggest reasons musicians lose royalties.
Small mistakes can prevent payments from reaching the correct songwriter.
Our team helps ensure important information is properly organized, including:
Song titles
Writers
Publishers
Ownership splits
Contributor information
Accurate metadata helps royalties flow correctly around the world.
Catalog Management
As catalogs grow, organization becomes increasingly important.
Whether you have:
10 songs
100 songs
1,000 songs
Managing publishing manually becomes difficult.
Elizabeth Music Group helps organize catalogs for long-term growth.

Elizabeth Music Group regularly publishes educational resources covering topics such as:
Music publishing
Emerging trends in the music industry
Royalties
How to grow your music business
Sync licensing
Producer agreements
Production techniques
Our goal is to help creators understand the business behind the music.

Why Publishing Matters
Many musicians focus entirely on distribution.
Distribution delivers recordings to streaming platforms.
Publishing protects and monetizes the composition itself.
Without publishing representation, musicians often leave significant royalties uncollected.
Publishing helps ensure you receive compensation whenever your songwriting generates income.
