Yes. LOFI producers who own a share of an original composition may earn publishing royalties in addition to the recording royalties paid through their distributor. Receiving streaming payments does not automatically mean every associated publishing royalty is being collected.
A LOFI track contains two distinct rights: the sound recording and the underlying composition. Your distributor generally handles recording income, although some distributors offer separate publishing services. It is important to check what you have actually signed up for.
Elizabeth Music Group Publishing helps LOFI producers organize their compositions, register publishing information, and pursue publishing royalties through relevant sources worldwide.
Collaborations also deserve attention. If one producer writes the chords and another contributes an original melody, the agreed composition splits should be documented.
The first step is reviewing your catalog and existing agreements. This helps establish which rights you control, what your distributor already collects, and whether publishing collection gaps remain.
