A producer may use both services because the same record can create two separate categories of rights: publishing rights in the underlying composition and master-side participation in the sound recording. Handling one side does not automatically handle the other.
Elizabeth Music Group Publishing represents composition interests. For a producer that can include catalog organization, registrations, worldwide publishing royalty collection, rights support, reporting, monthly payouts when applicable publishing royalties are received, and access to sync and creative opportunities available through the exclusive Discord community.
Elizabeth Music Group Master Royalties focuses on the recording side. If the producer has contractual master points or another eligible master interest, the service can review agreements and catalog information, organize the rights, register the producer with applicable label systems, communicate with royalty departments, and pursue eligible master-side payments.
Consider a producer who produces a major-label song with over 50 million streams. Their publishing share may generate composition royalties, while their producer agreement may separately provide master points after applicable recoupment. Those income streams can travel through completely different systems.
Using both services is not required, and eligibility on each side depends on the producer’s actual rights. But for creators who genuinely participate in both the composition and recording, examining both sides can help prevent a situation where one category is organized and collected while the other is overlooked.
