Unallocated Royalties

I see so many fellow artists releasing new music all the time without registering their song metadata first, because they erroneously believe registering their song with their PRO and their distributor is enough.

You will be surprised how valuable the Release Resource Checklist is for your next song release, since registration of your song metadata in these databases lets you collect royalties that your PRO and distributor don't even handle.

You'll likely kick yourself, because you probably never had all of these to use at the same time before — even more so because most are FREE.

Plus, if you don't claim your song's royalties, they'll just give them over to the major labels and their artists. Which basically means all your hard work feeds them, not you.

What the Release Resource Checklist does for you.

Your music is known when people play it in their vehicle and portable players
Your music is tracked for royalties
Your airplay is aggregated and reported to your PRO
Your music is reported to charting systems for social proof of your success
Helps brand recognition and collection of past royalties due
STOP letting your unclaimed royalties go to the major labels and their artists
Your best chance to stop leaving money on the table

"Thank you my brother and thanks for putting this information out there. I have learned so much in the short amount of time that I've been connected to you and I truly appreciate it."
Gabriella Dennery
"Working with Darrell was a big relief in getting over my fear of metadata and registering my music. With his support, we took what I thought was a mountain of work I would just avoid, down to easy to understand and most of all doable steps. Thank you Darrell!"

"You are very thorough and you are appreciated very much for being diligent in your craft. This makes all the difference in the world. There are thousands if not millions who would love to have this knowledge that you have. You could have easily kept it to yourself or gate-keep — but that's not the case, and I am glad. Continue with your persistence and determination to inform and empower those of us who are in the dark but willing to do the work once we are informed."

Meet the organizer — Darrell "D-Funk" Looney.

Hey, I'm Darrell.

I constantly hear fellow musicians say:

Good luck getting paid by XYZ streaming service. And if you do, it's only pennies." So they just keep on releasing new music without registering their song metadata first — or even at all.

— or — "I'm registered with TuneCore, DistroKid, CDBaby — so I'm all good with my song metadata."

My thing is: you likely aren't, because PROs and distributors don't typically register your song metadata in the databases for you.

One thing we musicians all agree on is that only "Super Fans" will buy the music of someone when they can stream it for free. These are the people who will pick up your music AND tell others, shouting from every rooftop.

But even casual fans won't buy or stream your music if they can't find it. And when they DO find it and stream it, you should get paid more of what you're due to receive.

Stop giving my royalties to the major labels.

Look — I'm not just telling you WHERE to register your song metadata. I'm also going to share with you exactly how to do it, and help maximize your chances to collect those missed royalties. Most databases are free.

Lots of folks say I should be charging for this and it's a lot of work for little gain. I could — but everyone needs to know and understand the ins and outs of the song metadata process, whether you do it yourself or pay someone else. You need to KNOW this.
