SONGWRITING, PLAGIARISM, ROYALTIES and the likes..

Tommy Tush

There are two types of Songwriters and two types of Artistes. There are songwriters who write for artistes on a project and accept to be paid a huge one-time fee for their writing services. The deals and agreement differ. At times the artistes tells the songwriters that once they pay them a certain amount they won’t mention their names as the songwriters anywhere on social media or on any platform. Sadly many writers agree to this deal because of the fee and also their need for the cash. Other times the writers get mentioned and acknowledged.

The second set of songwriters are those who, though they collect a writer’s fee, still do a SPLIT SHEET with the recording artiste. In that split sheet lies details of percentages that will be remitted to the writer of the song. This goes on for life. Whenever the song is streamed, downloaded, used for any purpose like movie soundtrack as the artiste is getting rich, the songwriter is smiling to the bank too. There are many songwriters who are quietly cashing out for life and will never be broke again because of certain projects they’ve written for.

It is left to you to decide which category you want to belong to. Any song has the capacity to be anything. So when you’re writing for someone BE PROFESSIONAL. Let all the proper paper work be signed. Many of our uploading platforms like Distrokid, CDbaby and co now have split sheet sections. Get your royalties.

The reason why many wallow in church hurt and get frustrated with music after many years is because they start feeling like they’ve done so much with music yet gotten no result. All they have are stories. Don’t sell your gift for a morsel. You write a song, they give you a car and you come on social media to celebrate the car gift whereas the artistes are cashing out hundreds or tens of millions yearly on that song and its for life? Think .
