*Don't skip it's for you* Don't keep releasing music and blaming yourself at the same time because you earn low income in music, I am here for you all, try add more artist to the group, I'll be their guide. *As a musician, are you sure you’re earning fairly for all the sleepless nights you spend in the studio…* …and the endless hours on the road performing? Or are you unknowingly leaving money on the table? You’ll find out in this piece about ROYALTIES- the one word that matters when it comes to your continuous earnings in music. Perhaps you’re in the process of signing a record deal, or just trying to understand how royalties work, this information can help you secure a fair dealvand ensure you don’t get ripped off. *So, what are music royalties?* Music royalties are payments you receive as a musician, songwriter, or producer, whenever your work is played, performed, or reproduced. *Take a moment to compare two scenarios:* In the U.S., many legendary musicians still enjoy a comfortable lifestyle, even decades after they’ve descended from the peak of their careers. Meanwhile, forsome African legends— both dead and alive— their estates struggle to reflectthe wealth that equals the work they put in while in the limelight. What causes this stark difference? You may say it’s the systems they operate in, and you’d be right. But the real culprit is knowledge gap. Many artists in their early careers sign deals without fully understanding the implications. Even though things have changed in the highly digitalized world where streaming creates new avenues for more revenue, it comes with new knowledge gaps you must fill. Else, you may be getting the shorter end of the stick, while undeserving parties get the lion share. *To prevent this from happening, these are the 5 types of music royalties you should know* *1. Mechanical Royalties* This is what you get whenever your music is reproduced, whether through downloads, streams, or physical formats like CDs and vinyl. With every play, a small payment goes to the copyright holder. Forinstance, platforms like Spotify and Apple Music ensure rights holders receive a share of every stream, facilitated by organizations like the Mechanical Licensing Collective (MLC) in the U.S. In today’s digital-first music economy, this is your lifeline. *2. Performance Royalties* Thisis generated whenever your music is played publicly- including on the radio, on TV, at live performances, or through streaming. The collection and distribution of these royalties are handled by organizations like PRS (UK) and ASCAP (U.S.), so you’re paid whenever your work is heard. For example, you can still earn from a song you released years ago, if it’s played on the radio or at a venue. *3. Synchronization (Sync) Royalties* When your music is used in films, TV shows, ads, or video games, this royalty is generated. Sync deals can be highly lucrative as it gives you exposure to new audiences. For instance, a song featured in a blockbuster movie can transform an artist’s career, both financially and in terms of reach. A number of artistes’ finances went up through sync royalties during the covid-19 lockdown when live shows and festivals were paused. *4. Print Royalties* Though this is now less common, apply to the sale of sheet music, whether physical or digital. They’re paid directly to songwriters and composers. That means if you’re a singer-songwriter, that’s some little extra income for you. *5. Neighboring Rights Royalties* Similar to performance royalties but specific to the sound recording rather than the composition. These royalties are collected in countries outside the U.S., making them crucial for international artists. ---- Now that you have this information, you can secure consistent income, long after your active years. Know your rights as an artiste, and demand them. Your future- and your bank account-will thank you. #zsstupidmusic #recordlabel #musical #artiste
