How Important Is Music Publishing
I would like to start off by simply saying that music publishing is where the money is really made in the music business. It is the most important part of any song or album that you may hear or purchase. Music publishing allows a songwriter to receive compensation potentially for the songwriter’s lifetime.

As long as a song is played on the radio, television, movie, or any other public medium, the songwriter will continue to receive compensation. I will explain how a songwriter protects their music, the benefits of getting a publishing deal, when it is the best time to go after and secure a deal and what type of publishing deal to secure.
