New to publishing? Read our plain-English guides to how music publishing works and where music royalties come from.
Do I keep ownership of my publishing?
Yes. With Dark Lab Records Publishing you keep 100% ownership of your publishing and are paid 85% of your royalties.
What royalties do you collect?
We register your works with performing rights organisations and collective management organisations worldwide, so that performance and mechanical royalties can be matched to you and collected.
How do I get started?
Submit your publishing data through the publishing form. We register your catalogue and start collecting.
What is the difference between publishing and distribution?
Distribution delivers your recordings to stores. Publishing registers and collects royalties for the songs themselves. Many artists need both.
