Can Elizabeth Music Group Publishing represent a songwriter who has both artist releases and behind-the-scenes writing credits?

Yes. Publishing follows the composition and the writer’s ownership, not whether the writer is the featured artist. A songwriter can therefore have publishing interests across their own artist catalog, songs written for other performers, producer contributions, co-writes, interpolations and other qualifying compositions.

Elizabeth Music Group Publishing can represent the client’s publishing interests across those different types of works, subject to the applicable agreement and ownership. During onboarding, the writer provides their legal name and IPI along with catalog and split information. The company can organize and register works worldwide and research the catalog for additional songs that may not have been included in the original submission.

This is particularly useful for creators whose careers do not fit neatly into one role. A person may release music as an artist, produce records for other people, write hooks, contribute melodies and compose instrumental tracks. Those activities can create separate compositions and different splits, but they can still belong to one underlying writer catalog. Keeping those works connected to accurate writer information helps reduce fragmentation and makes it easier to track the long-term value of the creator’s publishing.
