Rights & Royalties

Royalties

Payments earned each time your music is streamed, sold, played or licensed.

Main types: streaming/mechanical royalties from the recording, performance royalties when a track is played publicly (clubs, radio, festivals), and sync fees for use in film, TV, games or ads.
