goodcity. looks after the composition of your song in three key areas:

• Song Administration

• Royalty Collection

• Creative Licensing

When you record and release a song, there are two types of copyright within it. These are the composition and the sound recording. 

Your publisher would deal with the copyright within your composition. The sound recording would typically be handled by the record label or whoever has paid for the recording of the song.

If you are writing or composing melodies and/or lyrics, it’s important that you understand the nuances of music publishing. More importantly, how you can earn money from the songs that you write as music publishing emerges as one of the most important revenue streams for independent artists.
