Thumbs up! My name is Fabian, I am a rap artist. I own my own publishing company SIDE HUSTLE PUBLISHING LLC which is registered with the secretary of state in the state of New York as a limited liability company. I registered with ASCAP as a songwriter using my birth name Fabian Cummings and as a publisher using my LLC name SIDE HUSTLE PUBLISHING LLC. I used my social security number to sign up with ASCAP as a songwriter and my LLC tax ID to sign up for my publisher account. I have a chase business checking account for SIDE HUSTLE PUBLISHING LLC I setup direct deposit with ASCAP for my publishing royalties to go to my chase business checking account. is this the correct way to do it? or am i missing something? Thank you.
Did u use a PowerPoint to prepare it?
It’s literally just a wave shaper
A gamechanger wave shaper
thank you so much. God bless you.
Glad to help!
what if the song is going to go on soundcloud/spotify AND be used for sync licensing ?? would you just fill out both of those extra spots mentioned in the video ? I'm trying to register my first song ever and don't want to mess it up!! :) thanks in advance and stay noizy my friendz! 🤘🏼
You can add the sync licensing info down below
Good much very
Thats wrong. Because there customer service sucks! So you should leave DìstroKid
is DK now really that bad?
@@sleekb9ndit There have been increasing concerns about DistroKid’s support system, particularly regarding unresolved royalty payments. Many users report receiving only automated responses or templates, even after several attempts to clarify issues. This lack of direct human interaction can make resolving problems quite challenging, especially when payments are delayed for months.
sounds amazing! i feel like maybe some more offbeat impacts and percussion would help to hammer down the vibe
big agree here
Nice one!

thanks!
Great help on clarifying what SoundExchange should be doing themselves.. 🤨 On those boxes where a red X shows,Countries of First Release / Territories Of Collection Rights.., this makes the status "Invalid" for me. So I ended up having to just leave the box clear. Hopefully it will allow to make an edit later, because that is leaving a lot of money on the table. And.. For "Release Label", Are you saying that it's OK to put your name instead of Distrokid or Tunecore..? I think I saw somewhere in their many sections of entry that the label gets 50% ? Even if that's true, Distrokid , Tunecore.. would forward the 50% to me anyway, knowing full well that it is not theirs to keep. - Thanks again!
Should be able to enter in all the info without the songs being invalid. Release label is your own label and not the distributor you choose.
@@musicbyazuma Thanks I figured it out. The red X just threw me
It depends on the platform for how they handle verification. Symphonic does require permission from the featured artist.
That's good to know. Distrokid and many others don't have that precaution unfortunately.
I started to switch to DistroKid but was reminded why Landr won with me
Seems like a better deal, especially if you're an artist/producer
Can you help me?
How can I help!
@@musicbyazuma I need a music publisher website! ex: Record label>/ just u help me how to get this web site?
So many reviews about SKY Keys where the reviewer says, "I don't know what the Tone Shift feature is for." Be the expert. Look it up. Do your research.
Congrats!
Thanks!
please explain about 📌+add admin/subspublisher... seems like something is missing... is it to add admin subpublisher like SongTrust/Sentric? thanks sir
Nope, you'll wanna leave this blank and register with Songtrust via there own portal.
I registered as a songwriter and publisher at ASCAP..and previously I was also registered at Sentric Music Publishing...will my music have problems in the future..or conflict in terms of publishing royalties..please advise sir.. what should I do or just let it be..can ASCAP (publisher) & Sentric Music run together or not?. should I delete the publishing account at ASCAP..because I still need publisher admin management like SENTRIC MUSIC. I am still confused about this. Thank you sir in advance, hopefully it will be answered🙏.
Depends on your deal with Sentric. If they offer administrative publishing, you'll wanna make sure to register with Sentric's portal instead.

Great job
Thanks!
I dont see the music tab
Might need to change something in your settings.
@@musicbyazuma it now works... I cleared the cache
For some reason under my catalogue submit recordings isn’t listed for me
It should be highlighted in red when you're editing your entry. You can always try to save, exit, and reopen the song to see if it updates.
@ I’ve done all that and I still don’t see it at all. It’s like it’s not there at all.
How would that even work, tag them how?
You can list a featured artist without having to get their permission. So for a lot of mid-tier/independent artists, you have the risk of someone copying your artist name down
Thanks 🙏🏽 for this I’ll be on this tomorrow
You got it!
Ey bro ngl Thank you for not talking 30mins without no explanation, fixed it🤝
I gotchu!
You didn’t really tell me much, but I’m glad that I know that
It all comes down to personal preference. Some people like FL Studio over Ableton and vice versa
Question: If I have SongTrust Do I need to create a publishing account with BMI?
I would highly recommend registering with your PRO first then register with Songtrust.
@ thanks bro
Guys for artists outside US, what about taxes or tax forms? Is it recommended to get it? What’s the right path for European writers, thanks
I would recommend signing up with your country's native PRO. ex. Korea has KOMCA, Japan has JASRAC, etc.
Subject: Request for Clarification and Rights Rectification Regarding DR and PH Management by ST Music International Inc. Dear Songtrust Team, I am registered with Songtrust as a songwriter for the administration of my copyrights. Upon reviewing the reports related to my works, I have noticed that ST Music International Inc. holds 100% of the reproduction rights (DR) and public performance rights (PH) for some of my compositions. This situation is concerning because: I have never signed any agreement or explicitly consented to transfer these rights to ST Music International Inc. I could not find any reference in your terms and conditions indicating that Songtrust may delegate these rights to third parties without my consent. I kindly request detailed clarification regarding this attribution, specifically: Is this management by ST Music International Inc. part of your standard process? On what basis were these rights assigned to ST Music? What agreements or clauses justify this distribution? Additionally, I am formally requesting the immediate rectification of my rights to restore a distribution that aligns with my intentions. My reproduction (DR) and public performance (PH) rights should revert to me or be managed exclusively by Songtrust, in accordance with our initial agreement. I would appreciate it if you could prioritize this request and inform me of the actions taken to resolve this situation. I am available to provide any necessary documentation or additional information to facilitate the process. Thank you in advance for addressing this matter promptly. I look forward to your response. Best regards,
I would send this to their support team and contact them via their social media accounts.
Same here I have registered song from two years ago
That's insane
Is the recording artist portion the artist name or legal name?
For artist it should be their artist name.
Percentage claimed isnt very clear to me, if i own the masterright should i claimed 100% ?
If you are the sole owner, then yes it would be 100%. This pertains to artists who split a % of their royalties with another master owner (ex. producer, featured artist, etc.)
Contodo Respeto Hace algunos Años Que Registre unas Canciones.

What?
Hello, my man! Thanks for sharing this concise and helpful information-really appreciate it! I do have a question, though: If I’m already registered with ASCAP and MLC, do I still need Songtrust? I’ve been researching music royalties, and I looked over internet that some people suggested for registering with platforms like ASCAP/BMI, SoundExchange, MLC, and Songtrust all at once. Could you clarify this? Anyway thanks before and have a great day!
Songtrust is an admin publisher so they would be handling the MLC/ASCAP registration for you. Technically speaking, you don't need Songtrust if you already register with a PRO and the MLC
@musicbyazuma Clear as crystal. Thank you Azuma!
Crushin it!
Thanks!
Sir... I have an ASCAP writer account and a SONGTRUST publisher account. How do I fill out the Publisher Section when registering my song with ASCAP? 🥺
You wanna list Songtrust as the admin publisher.
@@musicbyazuma Thanks sir ❤️
So I have songtrust that means I will put 0 for ownership right? But 15% on collection ?
You wanna register the song as you would normally THEN register with Songtrust after. They take their % off the top and not at the splits-level
@@musicbyazumathank u
@@musicbyazumaI have a producer that is accepting 20% of the publishing for his writers share, and he is self published. What will that be on the 200% putting it in BMI?
