Why Musicians Need to Collect Their Royalties and How Songtrust Can Help

Hey there, fellow music maestro! Are you a creative virtuoso, crafting melodies that make hearts sing and toes tap? If so, let me ask you this: Are you leaving money on the table? Yeah, I know, it sounds like a cheesy infomercial line, but bear with me. You see, in the dizzying world of music royalties, many artists are unwittingly missing out on their rightful earnings. But fear not, because I'm here to unravel this tangled web of royalties and introduce you to your new best friend: Songtrust.

Why Use SongTrust?

Let's face it, navigating the labyrinth of music royalties can feel like trying to find your way out of a maze with a blindfold on. Streaming platforms, radio airplay, live performances – they're all potential gold mines for royalties. But unless you've got the sleuthing skills of Sherlock Holmes, chances are you're missing out on some serious cash. And who wants to leave that hard-earned money lying around like forgotten backstage passes?
​

Picture this: You just dropped your latest album, and it's blowing up Spotify faster than you can say "rockstar." Streams are pouring in, playlists are featuring your tracks, and fans can't get enough of your killer hooks. But while your tunes are racking up plays faster than a toddler unwraps presents on Christmas morning, your bank account is looking about as empty as a concert hall during a power outage. What gives?


Here's the deal: Every time your music gets played – whether it's on Spotify, Apple Music, Pandora, or even that old-school FM radio – you're owed a slice of the royalty pie. And trust me, it's a big pie. In fact, global recorded music revenues hit a whopping $21.6 billion in 2020, with streaming accounting for over 60% of that delicious dough. But here's the kicker: A significant portion of those royalties end up in the pockets of record labels, publishers, and other middlemen, leaving artists with mere breadcrumbs.


But fear not, my musical amigo, because Songtrust is here to level the playing field. Founded by musicians for musicians, Songtrust is like having your own personal royalty detective on retainer. Their mission? To ensure that every penny you're owed finds its way into your pocket, where it belongs.


So how does it work? It's simple, really. You sign up with Songtrust, upload your music, and let their team of experts do the rest. They'll scour the globe like musical bloodhounds, tracking down every last royalty dime and making sure it gets delivered to you on time, every time. It's like having a backstage pass to the biggest royalty party in town – and trust me, you're on the VIP list.


But wait, there's more! Songtrust doesn't just stop at streaming royalties. They'll also help you collect royalties from live performances, sync placements, and even cover songs. That's right, every time your music gets synced up to a movie, TV show, or commercial, you'll be cashing in like a Vegas high roller. Cha-ching!


And here's the best part: Songtrust puts the power back in your hands. No more waiting months (or even years) for royalty statements to trickle in from labels and publishers. With Songtrust, you'll get real-time access to your earnings, so you can track your cash flow like a seasoned CFO. It's like having your own personal financial advisor, minus the stuffy suits and jargon.

But don't just take my word for it. Just ask artists like Bon Iver, Dua Lipa, and Fleet Foxes – they're all proud members of the Songtrust family. And with over 300,000 songwriters and 2 million songs already registered, it's safe to say they're in good company.


So what are you waiting for? Stop leaving money on the stage and start collecting the royalties you deserve. Sign up with Songtrust today and take control of your music career like never before.
