Why clients
bring us in
For many creatives & their teams, it's often unclear as to whether or not their catalog is generating the royalties they should be... and why.
Music Admin implements sustainable, tech-forward solutions for data complications that tend to arise in high-yield catalogs.
Operational issues we fix:
- 01 Back catalogs with messy metadata or outdated registrations
- 02 Ownership disputes, conflicts, and manual claims
- 03 Estate, acquisition, or financing diligence
- 04 New releases that need clean setup from day one
- 05 Teams that need monthly reporting they can actually use
how we work
Every catalog and its specific challenges are as unique as the songs within.
Sorting them out requires a methodical approach that is scalable and flexible.
Research copyrights and map metadata
We start with the facts: the catalog, the rights involved, the current setup, and the problems that need solving first.
Deliver metadata globally to assert rights attribution
We identify what is registered, what is missing, where money should be flowing, and where the operational risk sits.
Claim unattributed works and resolve ownership conflicts in parallel
We organize files, confirm scope, clean up data, and prepare the catalog for administration without adding confusion.
Royalties are paid on the 25th of every month
We manage the ongoing work behind collection and provide reporting that is clear enough for both creators and representatives.
Works are continuously monitored across all platforms
As the catalog grows, rights shift, or new issues surface, we keep the system clean and the reporting useful.
