I make melody loops for hip-hop producers. Can Elizabeth Music Group Publishing represent my publishing?

Yes. Elizabeth Music Group Publishing can review sample makers and loop makers for publishing representation when their original musical contributions appear in released songs and they retain a publishing share. You do not have to produce the entire beat or release the song under your own name to discuss representation.

Imagine you create a guitar melody, send it to a producer, and that producer builds a beat around it. An artist then records vocals and releases the finished song. Your melody may be part of the underlying composition, but the share you own needs to be established through the applicable terms and agreements.

There is no automatic publishing percentage that applies to every loop placement. A direct collaboration, a licensed sample-pack loop, and an exclusive sale can involve different terms. Keep the license or correspondence associated with each contribution, and confirm splits when a placement develops.

One challenge for loop makers is visibility. The finished track might have a completely different title from your original file, and your contribution may appear under another producer’s credits. Keeping a connection between the loop, the collaborators, and the released song makes your catalog easier to review.

Elizabeth Music Group Publishing can help organize confirmed placements, review available ownership documentation, register the publishing shares we represent, and collect eligible publishing royalties worldwide.

You can begin with a few known placements rather than a perfect catalog. Send the release links, identify the musical elements you created, and include any agreed splits or relevant license terms.

For loop makers who want to keep collaborating, signed publishing clients also receive access to our exclusive Discord community only available to our publishing roster, where we share sync briefs and creative opportunities. Those opportunities are separate from registering your existing songs, and placements are not guaranteed.

Email publishing@elizabethrecords.net to discuss whether your catalog is a fit.
