“From day one, Ditto have made the process of uploading and distributing my music easy and stress free. I have so much more time to create now rather than spending hours on admin. Thank you Ditto for helping me to stay independent as a recording artist.”

Music Publishing FAQs.
What is music publishing?
Music publishing is the management of your songwriting rights. It covers the composition of a song, including the melody and lyrics, and ensures songwriters receive publishing royalties whenever their music is streamed, performed live, broadcast, reproduced or licensed for use in TV, film, games and adverts.
What are publishing royalties?
Publishing royalties are earned from the composition of a song rather than the sound recording. They include performance royalties, mechanical royalties and sync income, and are separate from the master royalties collected through music distribution.
What are the different types of publishing royalties?
There are several types of publishing royalties that songwriters can earn, including mechanical royalties, performance royalties and sync royalties. Mechanical royalties are generated when music is reproduced or streamed, performance royalties are earned when songs are played publicly or broadcast, and sync royalties come from licensing music for use in TV, films, games and adverts.
How do I know if I'm missing publishing royalties?
If you've written original music but haven't registered your songs with a publishing administrator, there's a chance you're missing out on royalties. Many independent artists collect streaming income but overlook publishing royalties generated from live performances, radio play, international collections and mechanical uses.
