"As an artist, my main concern should be the creative process. I shouldn't have to stress about where my money is. Missing Link comes through with my royalties." Maurice Watkins, Songwriter/Producer for Public Enemy, Chuck D

Foreign Royalty Collection

To survive as a songwriter in the industry, it's important for you to stay current with the technological changes taking place. Marketing and distribution methods have become more sophisticated, the internet has revolutionized communication, and many record companies are focusing on developing global artists.

How do we help you get your royalties from record companies in other countries?

After we have researched and determined which record companies have used your songs and in which territories they were used, we proceed with the licensing process. Retaining Missing Link Music to license, monitor, protect and collect royalties worldwide on your behalf is more efficient than trying to visit each country to negotiate with record companies or find sub-publishers yourself.

Missing Link has affiliations with sub-publishers and collection societies around the world. These companies monitor recorded music throughout the world, and, in addition to various sub-publishing and source licensing deals, provide Missing Link with international coverage in every major music manufacturing territory.

Missing Link Music converts all foreign royalty income upon receipt and forwards your payments to you in U.S. currency. As your partner, count on Missing Link Music to negotiate, license and collect your royalty money from abroad while staying current with copyright laws of each territory.
