Why is it important to put writer/publisher credits on your recordings?

Written by Press Officer on .

Including accurate writer and publisher credits on your recordings is essential because these credits:

  • Ensure you receive proper royalty payments: Royalties from broadcasts, performances, and sales are distributed based on these credits.
  • Help identify your work: Accurate credits allow collection societies like IMRO and MCPSI to track and manage the use of your music.
  • Protect your rights: Properly credited works make it easier to resolve disputes or unauthorised uses.
  • Increase professional recognition: Credits help build your reputation and connect your work to your name in the industry.

Without correct credits, you risk losing out on royalties and recognition for your creative work.
