Everybody who can hold a tune dreams of being a superstar, world tours and living out their childhood dream. But in order to do that one needs a specific set of skills. Consider the music publisher, an individual who is to music and artists what a publisher is to an author. The country music needs new artists and a publisher should know How To Submit Videos To MTV and make it rocks.

Music publishers, in general, are individuals who are well versed in the legalities of the music industry including copyrights and ownership of such intellectual property, and therefore, the most ideal people to approach with a new composition of music. Skipping a consultation with one could mean the difference between getting paid for the song and paying to use the song.

For up and coming country singers, or any singer/songwriters for that matter, having a publisher means that there is someone who is willing to go above and beyond to ensure that you receive royalties from any work that has been used by third parties. This is not only because they know how to work a room but because that is one of the fundamental skills required in order to do the job, negotiation.

What musicians sing in the country genre can and can t sing about often passes through a publisher to dodge any legal bullets the artist might put themselves and their team, working hard to make them a success.

A little-known fact is that most artists aren t paid by the label they happened to be signed to directly but that money goes from label to publisher and only after it has passed through the publisher, does the artist obtain some form of income, regardless of whether that artist does hip-hop, jazz or country music. One of the reasons this may be is because a music publisher is responsible for the royalties an artist receives as well as the registration of the artists work.

Publishers themselves make money dependant on the amount of work they ve put in. If a lot of third party agreements have been made with TV networks, syndication or even use in a movie it means a bigger royalty check for the artist and a more than an ideal slice of that cake for the publisher to enjoy. On average music producers make anywhere from $20 00 northwards depending on a variety of factors.

A smart country musician will realize that this industry is a business and not a talent show. And therefore, use the opportunity provided by a music publisher to meet influential and important people beyond his or her social circle.

People who are good with others, negotiating and have a passion for country music are bound to advance quickly within this type of career. It isn t easy but it is worth it if you are willing to put the needs of your clients first.
