Music publishers

Music publishers are companies or individuals that manage the rights to songs and musical compositions. They facilitate the creation, licensing, and distribution of music, ensuring that songwriters and composers receive payment when their work is used commercially—like in films, TV shows, or advertisements. Publishers help promote songs, negotiate contracts, and handle copyright issues, allowing artists to focus on creating music. In essence, they play a crucial role in connecting creators with opportunities to monetize their music while protecting their intellectual property rights.
