Can I join Elizabeth Music Group if I already release music through another distributor?
Yes. You can join Elizabeth Music Group even if you already release your music through another distributor, as long as you are not currently signed to another publishing agreement.
Music distribution and music publishing are two separate services. Your distributor is responsible for delivering your recordings to streaming platforms like Spotify, Apple Music, and Amazon Music, while a music publisher registers your songwriting rights and collects publishing royalties.
If you're already using a distributor, you can typically continue releasing music exactly as you do now while Elizabeth Music Group represents your publishing rights. This allows you to keep your existing release strategy while benefiting from professional publishing administration.
As a publishing client, Elizabeth Music Group can help you:
Collect publishing royalties from around the world.
Register your songs with the appropriate collection societies.
Recover eligible unpaid or previously unclaimed publishing royalties.
Receive monthly royalty payouts whenever we receive royalties on your behalf.
Access exclusive sync licensing and songwriting opportunities through our exclusive Discord community.
The main requirement is that your songs are not already committed to another publishing company or publishing agreement. If you're unsure whether your current agreements affect your eligibility, our team can review your situation and help determine whether Elizabeth Music Group is a good fit.
