Who is SongHub for?

SongHub serves all types of music rights holders, including independent artists, songwriters, music publishers, performing rights organizations - anyone that creates or owns royalty-earning music (including AI music platforms and their creators). It also serves as a valuable registration resource for music business students and industry professionals.

​

What does SongHub do?

SongHub is a blockchain-powered platform where creatives can connect and smoothly integrate song splits and registrations into their workflow. It is instrumental in delineating human/AI splits on AI music platforms. It also functions as a dynamic social network - think LinkedIn for artists. By optimizing the entire music creation process, SongHub empowers you to focus on creating music, while ensuring that song rights are properly registered with PROs, publishers, The MLC, SoundExchange and the US Copyright Office. 

​

How is SongHub different than CD Baby, TuneCore or DistroKid?

Unlike music aggregators and digital distributors, SongHub is designed to streamline the creation, organization, and registration of songs. The platform fosters collaboration by connecting a community of creators, enabling seamless sharing and interaction. It also allows you to assign songwriting and master splits at the moment of creation and register your songs with relevant collection societies, ensuring accurate rights management from the start.

​

Do I need SongHub if I already have a song catalog?

Yes! SongHub simplifies managing your catalog making it easy to register your songs with the appropriate collection societies, in order to ensure accurate royalty payments. We guide you through the song registration process, helping you better understand how each collection society works.

​

How can SongHub benefit me if I'm signed to a record label or music publisher?

While your label and publisher manage song registrations, SongHub helps you connect with like-minded artists and songwriters to ignite fresh collaborations, explore new creative opportunities, build a thriving community, and amplify your brand’s presence in the industry. SongHub also prints song rights to the blockchain, tying in your audio file, creating a secure, immutable and accessible chain-of-title for every song.

​

​

What do I get with the Premium tier?

For $9.99/mo., you have access to SongHub's registration tools, including PRO, publisher, The MLC, SoundExchange, and US Copyright registrations.

​​

What is music publishing?

Music publishing is the business of managing the rights to songs, as well as collecting and distributing royalties for songwriters and composers. Publishers also promote songs to popular artists and license music for use in visual media (sync licensing).

​

Do I need a music publisher?

Tracking song usage and global royalty collections can be quite complex. Having your publishing rights administered will certainly increase your earning potential as a songwriter by alleviating the overall administrative burden. Music publishers can also pro-actively seek and secure sync licensing opportunities for song usage in various forms of visual media such as film, television, advertising, and video games.

​

​Does SongHub offer music publishing?

Yes, SongHub offers music publishing registration and administration services for an annual fee of $99.99 to its Premium tier members. As a SongHub Music Publishing (Pro tier) member, your songs will be registered with your PRO, The MLC and SoundExchange, and you'll collect global music royalties from the use of your music. In addition, your songs will be reviewed for sync licensing (use in film, television, advertising, video games, etc.).
