Publishing administration through Songtrust ensures your compositions earn royalties from every corner of the world.
Every song has two copyrights: one for the sound recording (the master) and one for the musical composition (the song itself — melody, lyrics, arrangement). Publishing deals with the composition side.
When your song is streamed, performed, or used in media, the composition earns royalties separate from the master recording. These include mechanical royalties, performance royalties, and sync licensing fees.
Without a publishing administrator, these royalties — especially from international collection societies — often go uncollected. That's where Songtrust comes in.
Earned each time your composition is reproduced — streams, downloads, physical copies. Collected from platforms like Spotify, Apple Music, and Amazon.
Earned when your composition is performed publicly — radio, TV, live venues, streaming. Collected through PROs and international societies.
Earned when your composition is used in film, TV, commercials, video games, or other visual media.
