SongSplits is a free and secure online platform that gives music collaborators the ability to easily create and verify their split information and agreements.
It was created to help manage all of the songs, cues and unfinished tracks as well as the agreements between you and your co-writers. It's a simple tool, but potentially the most important tool for every songwriter, composer, musician and artist. It allows you to add, modify and cross verify your split agreements, which are then maintained in an organized ledger.
Once all splits are verified by each collaborator, they are sent to managers, publishers, attorneys and performance rights societies who then green light the collection and distribution of funds. Split agreements are also available to all collaborators and their teams in real-time via your SongSplits dashboard.
SongSplits is for anyone who creates music and lyrics for commercial use and wants to accurately and transparently track their royalty split agreements with their collaborators. It’s an essential business tool that makes it easier for music creators and collaborators to get the credit and income they deserve.
With over 250,000 members, SongSplits is the gold standard for creating and managing splits for everyone from new writers and musicians, to some of the most notable names in the industry.
When co-writers don’t cross verify and confirm their splits and a song is commercially released via streaming, downloads, samples or played on the radio, the writers aren’t properly credited or paid because companies do not know who, or how much, to pay each writer.
Also, song creators cannot get a publishing deal with an advance without this information, so they lose out on money-making opportunities for synch licensing deals (opportunities for your music to be used in television, film or advertising).
It takes a lot of paperwork, phone calls and emails to get the correct information verified by all collaborators, let alone registered. Until the split information is registered and verified, the labels, publishers, licensors, and any other third party using your song, holds your money until the conflict is cleared up.
With SongSplits you can register, verify, communicate and finalize your splits all in one place, and all in real time. You can also manage all your collaborators’ contact information and see an organized summary of the work you’ve created with each person.
No paperwork. No chasing people around to get information. No missed licensing opportunities, and no hold up on getting paid.
You might be surprised, but the answer is no. Your business partners (manager, attorney, publisher) are typically not around during the song creation process, so it’s nearly impossible for them to accurately determine what your share should be versus those of your collaborators; resulting in disputes and negotiations arising later on, which then causes lengthy delays in getting paid.
You, the writer, know what you contributed and know what you agreed upon with your co-writers, therefore you are best qualified to claim and confirm your own splits. However, with SongSplits you can also give your business partners permission to work on your behalf to add, modify and verify your splits.
There is no music business without the song split and we believe all creators should have the power and tools needed ensure they get proper credit and income for their work.
SongSplits works with all 256 societies across the globe to help them clear up their unpaid royalties and address disputes. Writers and their teams can push completed agreements or, for a small fee, can have their songs registered directly at the click of a button (currently to BMI, ASCAP and SOCAN).
