Understanding Music Publishing with Corinna Poeszus (Universal Publishing Production)
The world of Music Publishing is often a gray area for independent artists - whether it’s too confusing to navigate, or simply isn’t explained well enough, many independent musicians remain uneducated on the topic. Publishing can take your career from 0 to 60 in a short period of time, and aside from being one of the most lucrative channels of the music industry, its ability to launch an artist makes this a “double-whammy” for anyone who is able to capitalize on it. With the combination of associating your music with a notable brand and being exposed to a large audience, landing your music in a licensing opportunity could be one of the most desired achievements of independent artists today.
Stand Above the Noise sat down with Corinna Poeszus, G.M. of Universal Publishing Production, to help you better understand the world of Music Publishing. Check out their interview, and find out more about how Composers, Artists, and Music Supervisors interconnect to fulfill the client’s needs for music licensing.
