    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.

      ​@@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.

    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!

    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,

Could you clarify this? Anyway thanks before and have a great day!
