From songwriting to distribution, industry-standard identifiers like the ISWC, ISRC, and UPC help track usage, organize metadata, and unlock key revenue streams. In this post, we’ll break down what each code is, who issues them, and how you can secure them as an independent artist or songwriter.

EPKs and one sheets are essential to your growth as an independent artist and can get you connected to the right people.

There are two different music copyrights. A musical work copyright protects a song’s composition (lyrics, melody, arrangement), and a sound recording copyright (aka the master) protects the actual recording of a song. Copyright exists as soon as an original work of authorship is fixed in a tangible medium. The creator of a work is known as an Author.

If you’re an independent musician, or someone like me who wants to help others on their own music journey – then this is for you.
