Helping Authors and Performers Get the Royalties They Deserve
Vienna, Austria, is known for its rich musical heritage and vibrant contemporary music scene. But behind every successful song lies an essential part of the music business: music publishing. This process ensures that authors and performers are fairly compensated whenever their music is used.
What Is Music Publishing?
Music publishing involves registering songs with CMOs (Collective Management Organizations) and PROs (Performing Rights Organizations) to protect the rights of creators and collect royalties. Every time a track is played on the radio, featured in a film, streamed online, or performed live, royalties are generated. But these royalties don’t collect themselves — proper registration and administration are key.
Our Role in Vienna
We handle the entire publishing process so that musicians can focus on creating music. Our services include:
- Registering tracks with Austrian and international organizations such as AKM and Austro Mechana;
- Monitoring music usage across radio, TV, streaming platforms, and live events;
- Collecting and distributing royalties to authors and performers;
- Advising on international licensing and copyright protection.
With our expertise in Austria and across Europe, creators can rest assured that their works are protected, and their income streams are managed professionally.
Why It Matters
Many musicians focus on the creative side and overlook the administrative aspects. But without proper publishing management, a significant portion of potential earnings may be lost. We make sure artists can dedicate themselves to music while we handle the legal and financial side of things.
