Can Elizabeth Music Group collect publishing royalties from songs I released before signing with them?

Yes. Elizabeth Music Group Publishing can help register and represent songs that were released before you signed with the company, and in some cases may be able to pursue publishing royalties that were previously uncollected.

Publishing royalties do not disappear simply because a song was released before you had professional publishing representation. If you own or control the relevant publishing rights, Elizabeth Music Group can review the catalog, organize ownership and metadata information, register eligible compositions with the appropriate performing rights organizations, collection societies, mechanical royalty sources, and other pay sources, and investigate whether royalties may still be claimable.

The amount that can be recovered depends on factors such as when the song was released, where it generated usage, and whether it was already registered elsewhere.

For musicians with an established catalog, this means signing with Elizabeth Music Group Publishing is not limited to future releases. Older songs may also benefit from professional representation, global registrations, catalog management, and royalty collection.
