For most songwriters, the publisher represents the first step in his or her career, a step that can easily mean the difference between success or failure, between making it or putting those songs back in a drawer forever. One of the primary roles of the publisher is to secure commercially released recordings of the songs it controls.
As an independent music publishing and global music rights management Services Company, GALENT Music Publishing Group discovers and develops songwriters, and administers copyrights to their musical compositions. It also exploits, and collects royalties.
Administration entails the filing of a notice of copyright with the U.S. Copyright Office in Washington, the issuing of licenses, collecting of royalties, and paying writers and co-publishers their share of the proceeds. Exploitation involves “pitching” songs to record labels, movie and television producers and others who use music, then license the right to use the song and collect fees for the usage. Those fees are then split with the songwriter.
GALENT Music Publishing Groupwill also register the songwriter’s songs at their local Performing Rights Organizations (BMI, ASCAP or SESAC), In addition, it will register the songs at Performing Rights Organizations around the world so that they are eligible to collect performance income wherever their songs are being heard.
