What We Do

REPRESENTING MUSIC CATALOGS AND PROVIDING ARTIST SERVICES FOR ICONIC HERITAGE LATIN ARTISTS AND/OR THEIR HEIRS.

These are among the most recognizable names in Latin Music. True legacy artists with decades of hits that never die. Among our clients are multiple Grammy and Latin Grammy nominees and winners, Latin Songwriter Hall of Fame inductees, Lifetime Achievement Latin Grammy winners, International Salsa & Texas Music Hall of Fame inductees, and many other honors. Artists with total physical unit sales of over 55 million and totals in the tens of millions across streaming platforms worldwide. 

PERSONALIZED BESPOKE SERVICE


We didn't just meet these artists yesterday. There are decades of friendship and history between us and most of them. We provide personalized service and a deep knowledge of their individual repertoires, audience, and the specific history and needs of our clients.


REPRESENTING
CLASSIC SONGS 

AND ARTISTS

These songs and artists are known by Latin music fans throughout the world. These standards have stood the test of time. We offer experienced and knowledgable guidance on most music publishing and copyright matters in both Spanish and English. 


We work at researching and filing for our artists Section 304c and 203 Copyright renewal grant terminations with the Copyright Office. We have successfully filed with the US Copyright Office for over 200 songs which have or will be returned to the songwriters control after 56 or 35 years. After the effective dates of US termination, we work hard at claiming them back from their former publishing companies and migrating that revised catalog information.

We also research and represent our artists in claiming and receiving Neighboring Rights from Europe where and if applicable and registering their song catalogs in the proper formats (CWR, CSV, Excel) with CMO's around the world to get better streaming rates and faster pay from Europe, LATAM, and Asia.


We seek and negotiate synch licensing for our clients and work with music supervisors to develop relationships beneficial to all parties. We work with third party providers to police, find, and claim all applicable YouTube royalties from mechanical, public performance, and synch license royalties. 

WE PROVIDE VITAL METADATA AND ANALYTICS


We review and analyze what you don't want to. We access, monitor and collate all artist streaming information for our artists. We utilize Chartmetric, Jaxta, Luminate along with metrics derived directly from Spotify, Apple Music, Amazon Music, Pandora, Deezer, Google Play, Napster, YouTube, and other sources. We provide royalty forensics and research that uncovers missing royalties from recordings, covers, synchs, and other uses. We cross-check against our artists statements to find and claim any missing repertoire data.

Our data consistently shows our artists biggest audience is much younger and geographically more diverse than  expected. The growth and usage of vintage catalog recordings and compositions leads in all metrics against newer music. 

FOCUSED & DETAIL DRIVEN


We make it our mission to be constantly vigilant and up to date with all of the issues and processes in this rapidly evolving new music business paradigm. We find recordings, tracks, and covers our clients didn‘t even know existed. We match and enlarge their repertoires data to maximize the number of songs and or tracks they are being paid for. 

WE ARE ARTIST CENTRIC


We know both sides of the coin. We've been there. We are songwriters, music publishers, and executives with years of valuable experience and contacts with major music companies and societies. In the creative realm, we have participated in and advised the careers of many top name Latin artists, executives, and companies. Our management have had their songs on Grammy nominated recordings, RIAA Certified Latin Gold & Platinum albums, TV and Films, and have written with and translated songs for leading Latin and non-Latin music heavyweights.
