Can a manager submit a producer’s catalog to Elizabeth Music Group Master Royalties for review?

A manager can play an important role in organizing a producer’s catalog and identifying potential master royalty opportunities, but Elizabeth Music Group Master Royalties ultimately needs our contract and documentation signed by the producer to represent the rights holder and communicate about their royalty account. A manager interested in the service can help assemble the information needed for an efficient review.

Useful materials can include a placement list, artist and song names, release links, label information, producer agreements, deal memos, beat advance records, royalty statements, credits, and notes identifying songs for which the producer believes they have master royalty points. The more organized the catalog is, the easier it becomes to separate strong opportunities from recordings that require additional research.

Elizabeth Music Group Master Royalties can then review the relevant agreements, metadata, ownership or participation information, and collection history. If the producer has eligible master royalties, the team can work through registrations, label communication, submissions, follow-ups, and royalty inquiries according to the service agreement.

Managers should avoid assuming that every major placement creates master royalties. The producer’s actual agreement and recoupment position matter. A catalog review is useful because it turns a broad placement list into a rights-focused analysis of which recordings may warrant further action.
