Why Publishing Is Key for Songwriters & Performers
While many artists chase a record label deal to kick their career into high gear, they often overlook the less sexy but just as important publishing deal. These agreements ensure that the artist’s songs receive maximum exposure through TV, film, and commercial placements, and publishers are also taking an increasingly larger role in artist development, which can lead to that elusive record deal. In addition, for songwriters, a publishing deal is essential to find the best singer or band to bring their songs to life. This panel will explain why a publishing deal is so important for both performers and behind-the-scenes songwriters and reveal actionable tips for how to land one.
