Can Elizabeth Music Group Master Royalties investigate a song even if I don’t have a royalty statement?

Yes. You do not necessarily need to already have a royalty statement for Elizabeth Music Group Master Royalties to investigate whether you may be entitled to master royalties from a recording.

Many producers and musicians have participated in commercially released songs without ever receiving a master royalty statement. In some cases, they may know that their agreement provides master royalty points but have never received accounting from the record label or other company responsible for paying those royalties. The majority of clients who work with Elizabeth Music Group Master Royalties have never received a royalty statement before working with us - that’s one of the main reasons producers reach out to have us represent them is to help them get their royalty statements from the record label properly.

Elizabeth Music Group Master Royalties can begin by reviewing the information you do have. This may include your producer agreement, the song and artist name, your role on the recording, the record label involved, release information, royalty percentage or master points, and any previous correspondence relating to the song.

Our team can use the available information to investigate the recording, determine which company may be responsible for accounting, and evaluate whether there is a potential master royalty collection opportunity.

Not having a royalty statement does not automatically mean that royalties are owed, and Elizabeth Music Group Master Royalties cannot guarantee that an investigation will result in a payment. Factors such as the terms of your agreement, recoupment, royalty calculations, and the responsible company's accounting can all affect whether royalties are ultimately payable.

If you have producer points, master royalty participation, or another contractual interest in a released recording but have never received a statement, Elizabeth Music Group Master Royalties can review the available information and investigate whether there may be master royalties to pursue.
