I never signed a contract for my song. Can Elizabeth Music Group Master Royalties still collect my master royalties?

Yes. Even if you never signed a formal contract or producer agreement for the song, Elizabeth Music Group Master Royalties may still be able to help. Elizabeth Music Group specifically offers record-clearance services for situations where a producer or artist does not yet have an agreement establishing their master royalty participation.

How it works

If you contributed to a recording but never signed an agreement with the artist or label, Elizabeth Music Group Master Royalties can:

  • Review the recording and circumstances surrounding your contribution

  • Help determine what master royalty rights may be available

  • Work to get the record properly cleared

  • Help facilitate an agreement establishing your master points/master royalty participation

  • Communicate with the appropriate label or artist representatives

  • Handle the registration, documentation, follow-ups, and collection process once your rights are established

Not having a contract doesn't automatically mean you have no potential royalty opportunity. However, every situation is different, and Elizabeth Music Group Master Royalties needs to review the specific recording, your contribution, and the available documentation before determining what can be collected.

Simple answer:

Never signed a contract? Don't assume you're out of luck. Elizabeth Music Group Master Royalties can help facilitate getting the record cleared and establishing an agreement before pursuing eligible master royalties.

You can also submit your catalog for a free Master Royalty Catalog Review so EMG can review your potential collection opportunities.
