Who Owns the Music You Distribute?

Written By Luciano Esposito

On nodable, you retain full ownership of your music. Unlike traditional labels or distributors that might claim a percentage of your rights, we ensure that:

  • You own 100% of your master rights (unless otherwise agreed with collaborators or a label).

  • You retain full control over your publishing rights, ensuring that songwriters and composers receive their share.

  • You decide how royalties are split, allowing fair and automated distribution among contributors.


Managing Ownership and Revenue Splits

To maintain clear ownership and avoid disputes, follow these best practices:

  • Register your music with a performing rights organization (PRO) to secure publishing royalties.

  • Set up revenue splits through Nodable’s platform to ensure all collaborators are compensated fairly.

  • Obtain written agreements with any co-writers, producers, or featured artists to define rights and revenue shares.


By ensuring clarity in ownership, nodable empowers artists with full control over their music while providing a seamless way to manage rights and royalties.
