I have hundreds of instrumental songs but have never worked with a music publisher. Where should I start?

Start by getting a clear picture of your catalog.

Useful information includes your artist names, legal writer name, PRO affiliation and IPI number if available, approximate number of original compositions, release links, collaborators, ownership splits, and details about any existingagreements.

Do not assume that having hundreds of releases means you need to organize everything perfectly before contacting us. Elizabeth Music Group Publishing works with large catalogs and can help identify what information is needed during the review and onboarding process.

For a prolific instrumental musician, years of releases can represent a significant body of publishing rights. Reviewing that catalog is an important first step toward understanding how those compositions are currently registered and whether eligible publishing royalties may be going uncollected.
