👇 ABOUT ME:
Hey! I'm Damian Keyes and I've worked with musicians every day of my life for the past 20 years. The internet is deeply untrusting understandably and here is my background so you can have the full picture.
When I was 18, I was signed to a major label (dropped 6 months later) and at 23 I co-founded a Music University in Europe called BIMM (valued at $300M). I’m also a bass player, I’ve played for a number of artists including Eric Clapton, Alanis Morrisette and Billy Cobham. I initially retired at 30, but realised that life gets boring if you’re not building!
I have always been in-between the music industry and education which is how I ended up building my TH-cam channel - I’ve been teaching artists how to release music long before it was a ‘niche’! I now educate artists around the world with my Academy, TH-cam channel and I work directly with labels internationally alongside owning a live agency and management company.
It’s great to meet you and looking forward to working together on your music!
Roses are red, violets are blue, smash the like button or I’ll come and find you
😂😂
Maybe I wanna be found... 😜
You left me no choice! Of course I smash the button now
@@lionsatmidnight 🕵🏻♂️😏
@@crnkmnky ahhh you found me!
Your reminder comments are great because I often forget to like and go straight into the comments. I’m gonna steal your reminder comment strategy, Damo! 😬
the fact that you're covering this topic rn... I feel like you know something we don't
Refusing to give up ownership of my publishing and masters has kept me from getting signed,but I don't care. I'm not going to end up broke and famous like 99% of the signed artists out there.
Facts!
I agree. I released My album "Midlife Crises " recently, and I feel the same way.
The ownership and confidence of publishing My own content is Priceless.
Ya buddy!
@@disciple_deshunA michael jackson did not sell his publishing rights to a lot of stuff, very business savvy, mot a popular choice but yeah what something means to you means more than the money, i’m gonna check out your work brother,you keep that morality
99% of signed artists aren’t famous lol and are also broke
I'm just starting out as a musician and this is incredibly useful. Thank you!!!

will remember you
You should do a video revolving the differences and similarities and importances of Sentric Music, PRS, PPL and what they all do together
This is definitely one of your best videos...awesome job man!
Yes Damo! Great value as usual. Thanks so much for all this info. Awesome new aesthetic too! 👏🏻❤️
Great stuff as always! Ty for helping to take my music to next level😀
Great video, Damo. The best examples of this yet!
Thank you DK, I just came across it and found it really interesting and useful!
Thank you! I really appreciate your vids. Very helpful and inspiring
I love this video. Thank you for your time and service.
if you write a song, before you do anything, email the lyrics to urself, add the email to a separate folder. now you have an online record of your lyrics!
Really good video. I was thinking to myself I don't need to watch another video on music publishing, not much else I could learn. I deeply appreciated and enjoyed the way this all was communicated. Very impressed.
Thanks Damian. Very well presented - great content, can feel your passion for this. Early days - only on TH-cam and a songwriting forum. I believe in the spirit of my songs though and loads of positives coming back inspires confidence. Cheers.
Just brilliant! Thank you for sharing this knowledge 😊
Thankyou G ! Perfect timing

The TH-cam lever is working fine for this rolling stone! Great stuff Damo! 🐒
Main problem with publishing is in the education end of things,example if you do cover tunes,knowing that you can use Sound exchange for featured Artist royalty’s on the performance (no other place does it)
Silly things like that,make huge income potential.
But the Rub is,no one lays out the full procedure (hands on)
The Areas it covers.....
People get confused because when they hear the word "performance royalty" they think publishing/songwriters... and if you didn't write the song (because it's a cover) you assume you can't collect any performance royalties. But what people don't usually know is that there are "composition performance royalties" and "master performance royalties". It's true, on a composition/songwriter "performance royalty" you can't collect those. They are paid to a PRO on a cover song. The publisher is entitled to that.
But on a cover song, YOU OWN THE MASTER, so you collect the "master performance royalty" from SoundExchange. If you are both the Featured Artists and Copyright Holder (master owner), then you collect both of those from Soundexchange.
Info like that is what I find 99 percent of us lack on publishing knowledge.
Thank you
Told me what I needed to know
I am someone who is just starting out trying to get into the Publishing and Supervision space. This was really helpful. Thank you Damian!

wonderful
Appreciate the wisdom you have provided us! 💯💜🙌 TH-camrs like yourself have provided so much knowledge to help independent musicians make a living!
So glad to help. I love working with all of you, so awesome to see so much great art being put into the world!

One of the biggest reasons for publishing companies buying up back catalogues of established artists is that demand for good music will be high in the coming years with the stifling of new talent coming through... this is mainly caused by lack of venues to play as governments attack the business blatantly to deter the grey market incomes.
Love 👽
Loved this. It helps your as a hot as hell doing the video. But seriously really helpful.
For years in the dark, Now i finally see light !! Thank you Damian.
I really appreciate that, thanks Richard
Also my biggest video of the year is dropping today. 'How to release a single in 2024'. It's a big one, hope it helps 🙂🙂
Love this
Glad to help!
Top!! I'm already in :-)

Definitely the best way to copyright a song is to release it straight away, at least regarding UK copyright law. Other countries are different though.
thanks 🙏
Thank you 🙂🙂
There are 7 types of publishing deal Single, exclusive, co, admin, collection, sub-pub, purchasing agreement. Oh also 3 sources of revenue 1. Reproduction 2.Sync 3. Print. .not confusing at all!
this really helped, but could you pls make a video explaining all the steps to publishing your first song?
respect
About the intro: I've never heard my streaming service ads, because I have a powerfull ad blocker. But I recently decided to subscribe anyway, because I was tired of being a profiteer.
The "Patreon" business is also proving that some people are willing to pay just to support their favorite creators.
But anyway, I see your point ;)
I’m coming for pop music
Hey Damian, I like your videos. Could you do a video on how you promote these educational music business videos you make (i.e., do you use Google Ads or other methods)? Some of your videos have thousands and even hundred of thousands of views. Are these number organic, and were they always organic. I'd appreciate your transparency in the matter. Thank you
You have great content, Damian. If I may suggest something... those new sound effects and zoom in-outs are somewhat exaggerated/not carefully edited. They distract more than anything and you have a good communication that needs less of those artifacts.
Noted!
You explained like a media & entertainment attorney. All information, no drama...... I am one M&E attorney from India 🇮🇳♥
Just how I like it! 👊😝

Good one there i love it. So i am a musician from Ghana and i need a publisher can you introduce one for me?
Songs rights are divided into
the publishing share and the writer’s share.
Hi Damien. If you are "not a songwriter", are you allowed to start a music publishing company, or do you need to be a songwriter to start one? Thanks.
Can you submit an audio recording when copyrighting a music composition or does it have to be transcribed into sheet music? (Note: I'm not talking about copyrighting a sound recording, I want to copyright the underlying musical composition. I would like to own the copyright for both the music composition and the sound recording, me being the author of both, but if I were to only copyright the music composition, are you allowed to use a sound recording to do that, or does it have to be transcribed into sheet music?)
Would you like to do a video on interpolation please? I'm having issues with Dittomusic and researching copyright laws, licensing and how to correctly release a new song that's taken aspects of someone else's work. Spolier alert: DITTO told me I need a Masters License to re-sing a chorus from another song (where are the 'fact checkers' when you need them?!)
BMI. Get on it people
nice
Hey, new video!!
You know it!
th-cam.com/video/fpP0bvnfeOs/w-d-xo.html🔥🇱🇷🇸🇿
Hey I don’t know if you can answer this but do you know where I can find rappers for my beats?
Can you go in-depth with copy writing your song
Let's say for example DistroKid, does it counts as a publishing service? And if it does will they take a fee for every song published or is it only the yearly fee u pay? And will they have any rights for our songs if we publish through them? Thanks.
so is it better as an unsigned artist to have a deal with a publishing company at first? and if so can i keep copy right to song with the 25 75 split?
Where do I have to go to set up my own music publishing in UK? thanks all
Do the same things apply to making instrumental soundtrack music?
So if I write a song’s lyrics and melody and I work with another person to write the chord progressions and instrumentation, do they get rights on the publishing side or just rights on the recording side of things?
Question please, what if my track contains a few copyright samples and then you play those tracks live in concert, can I as the songwriter still register it with my PRO and get paid when I play them live? Or is that not allowed cuz of the copyright?
Where do i have to sign up to collect my Publishing royalties, if I live in Germany.
Each Chili Pepper gets 32.5 million from that deal. A lot of money, especially since they still get to make money touring and merchandising I presume. Interesting that a company though they could make the dough from it. RHCP have only a few super
big songs in the long term mainstream.
What do think about one rpm
Hey Mr Damian,
Really hoping you'd reply to this question:
I have these awesome beats that I've made and it's streaming on SoundCloud and I really want to connect to this singer whom I really hope that they can help me in making a song collab together.
How do I contact them? Through social media? How do I get them to reply? How do I build my fanbase?
can I register my song or album to distros and publishing ,copyright etc if they are free beats ? please help
I wrote songs to tracks I leased online but the contract says I can’t copyright my new version. I want to submit to a publisher. Am I still protected if I only register it with BMI
Hey Damian! I think the link for your academy is not working, at least here in South America. It'd be nice to see whats up! Been a fan since I saw your videos 2 years ago. Really cleared up everything.
Hey! What error comes up? I’ve just checked my end, I’m in Florida at the moment and it’s working fine 😊😊
Glad to help dude and let’s work together in DKMBA!
@@DamianKeyes So when I click on the link the page does not charge (google chrome). I copy/pasted the link and it ended up working fine. Thanks!

Great video as always Damian. One thing i never got to fully understand is.. spotify pays the publishing companies? If im an artist that gets..i dont know 300 dolars monthly from distro kid. am i losing money having no publishing representation?
Yes you are. You will generate publishing royalties on your streaming activity which is an extra revenue stream.
@@jameskennedystuff great man. thanks for clearing that!
What if I own the publishing company and the record label how will I divide the royalties with the artist
👍
First comment ⚡💟
👊👊👊
If I own the masters of my song but someone wrote it for me, can I own publishing of it if I put up my own publishing ? Will the writer need to give me his publishing as a writer or just if this one song that he write for me ? Thank you so much 🙏🏼
Excellent advice!
Quick question regarding your first statement: Should you copyright your songs via a third party such as Easy Song etc? Or is there enough proof now in the digital age?
I would say there’s enough proof, whenever you upload something now there is a timestamp that’s provable
@@DamianKeyes Excellent. Thanks man!

How do you find these top of the line publishers that help navigate your music and get the music in the right hands?
Did you have to pay royalties for that Wilhelm?
I signed in BMI had my ID number is that?
Whos your favourite music artist u have ever worked with
Curious why you didn't mention publishing administration, which collects your royalties both performance (through your PROs) and mechanical royalties, but doesn't own any of your intellectual property.
Music publishing is generally more profitable than working for a record company
