Whether you retain your copyright or assign it to S2k or one of the publishers we administer, we take care of all aspects of the administration of your catalogue, from writer or publishing startups to record company / publishers looking to expend their catalogue. We look after the nuts and bolts so that you can make the music.
LIASING WITH PRS FOR MUSIC
Our many years of liasing with PRS for Music (including MCPS) and our in-depth knowledge of the industry are invaluable when it comes to dealing with the UK collection society.
WORLDWIDE PUBLISHING ROYALTY COLLECTION
Overseas our catalogue is registered direct with local societies. S2k is also a member of IMPEL to take advantage of direct pan-European licensing of digital media, US mechanical collection entities (for Spotify US / Pandora and others direct), YouTube US and BMI for performing royalties.
ROYALTY MONITORING AND TRACKING
