Mechanical License For Publishers
As I mentioned in a previous post, that as an artist you should start with a publisher when making your own music. Today I will discuss mechanical licenses for publishers. There are two major organizations that issue mechanical license for publishers. One is Harry Fox Agency, which in the United States is the largest organization of its kind. In Canada CMRRA, standing for Canada Mechanical Rights Reproduction Agency. What are this organization do for publishers? They act as a publishers agent for mechanicals. They issue licenses for the publisher, police them (make sure the users pay), and account to the publisher. This is not a free service and you need them. Harry Fox charges 6.75% of the gross monies collected. CMRRA charges 6%. Not only due they collect and issue but they also audit record companies on behalf of their clients, and then allocate the recovered monies among their clients in proportion to their earnings. This is significant for a smaller publisher, as the cost of an audit for small earnings is prohibitive and an audit can cost $15,000 to $25,000 or more, and unless the recovery is likely to be several times the amount, it's not economical.

Music Industry Contacts
Music Industry Contacts
Finding it hard to break through to the big dogs in the music industry? Well, I can tell you why. I work in the industry and there is a great reason why you can't get through. Making a connection with music industry contacts are highly protected for obvious reasons. (1) Security reasons. Example, say Lady Gaga's manager was all over the net with information contacts, where he lives, etc. They don't offer this information due to risks of threats to famous artists. It's a protection issue. (2) They don't have time for a unknown artists and I suggest to never bother them if they have superstar status recording artists. Keep in mind this is just for independent managers. Most big artists have big management companies and they offer contact information but it's general contacts which are ignored. So you want the breakthrough to producers, managers, record labels, etc. Making your own music and trying to get the attention of the industry is difficult. I have the solution and here it is: Music Industry Contacts. This is current and vital information. It contains thousands of contacts which you need to succeed. You have to pay for this. Remember, nothing is free and definitely not this information. So if you are serious about making in the music industry and want all music industry contacts, I recommend this contact e book.

Writer-Publishers
 |
| Writer Diane Warren |
Many writers keep ther own publishers. Examples are well-established writers who don't need a publisher because people are constantly begging them for songs. In fact, if you're a writer/artist who's material doesn't lend itself to being recorded by others such as jazz, rap or heavy metal, then you should only part with your publishing if you need money up front. Otherwise. you can hire people relatively cheaper to do the administration when writer and making your own music. Just because the publishing game has a low entry price doesn't mean it's an easy gig. So you have to check out your publisher thoroughly. Just remember that the difference between a good one and a bad one is how much money they can put in your pocket!
If your looking for voice and pitch lessons, here is a perfect pitch software that will enhance your singing.

Focus On A Publishing Deal!
Publishing Deals
The music industry changes like the weather. How do you break through as an artist when making your own music? Today several artists are seeking the backdoor approach to obtaining a recording deal. A great route is to get signed by a publishing company. First thing to do is go online and join a music society. In Canada join SOCAN. If you are an artist based in the United States, there is BMI or ASCAP. There are some major publishing companies just like the record labels. My advice is to do what you can to attract a middle of the road publishing company with some clout. Find out who they know and who they have worked with and if they can exposed your songs to TV, film and commercials. If a publishing company has no contact with labels, I would not pursue them. The other positive with a publish company is that they will listen to your demo. Three of your best songs, no more. Labels will through it in the trash unless it is submitted by a manager or publisher. Remember some music publishing companies work with record labels. They can convince the labels to sign you if the publishing company really like you. An example is the group Ben Folds Five. They got a publishing deal first and then were eventually signed. My advice is to do your homework at obtain a publishing company that can work for you and likes you. Also, a big one is they must have clout! Good luck.
