Songs appreciate. Rights leak. Ownership reverts. MYMB protects and grows the value of music IP through Label Operations, Catalog & Rights Administration, and Copyright Termination — with three decades of institutional discipline behind every filing.
In operation now: release campaigns and touring logistics for artists with a combined 10M+ social following — including a 28-date national tour, multiple 2026 album and EP campaigns, and DSP infrastructure across every major platform.
Current and past engagements include catalog cleanup, royalty administration, publishing registrations, SoundExchange claims, and rights management for independent labels, legacy artists, and artist-owned companies.
Catalogs are selling at historic multiples. A well-documented catalog with clean ownership commands a premium; a messy one gets discounted — or passed over entirely.
Missing registrations, bad metadata, and unclaimed royalties quietly drain value every quarter. Most owners never see the money they're losing because it never arrives.
U.S. copyright law can return rights to creators after 35 years — but only to those who act inside precise windows. The single most valuable event in a catalog's life is also the easiest to miss.
Every engagement is documented, systemized, and built to survive an audit — because an asset is only worth what you can prove you own.
An asset run on improvised workflows loses money invisibly. We operate as your label's back office — release SOPs, vendor management, budgets, and reporting — so every release compounds value instead of chaos.
Clean ownership data is the difference between an asset that pays and one that leaks. We verify, register, and administer rights across every registry that matters — stopping royalty leakage and keeping the catalog audit-ready and sellable.
Distribution setup and migration done right the first time — profiles claimed, metadata clean, delivery verified — in partnership with Creative's Flow Distribution.
Sync is where a catalog earns beyond streaming — but only cleared, documented, pitch-ready assets get licensed. We build that infrastructure so opportunities in TV, film, advertising, and games don't die in paperwork.
When a deal no longer reflects the value of the asset you created, we build the case: deal analysis, financial modeling, and renegotiation strategy — coordinated with your attorney, from a position of documented strength.
Dropping this quarter? We take one priority release — single, EP, or album — and make the entire release engine clean: DDEX-aligned metadata, ISRC/UPC mapping, standardized credits, documented splits, and a 6-week rollout calendar.
Duplicate and fragmented artist profiles on Apple Music and Spotify split your streams, break your editorial eligibility, and confuse your audience — and most distributors never catch it.
Profile merges take 7–14 days to resolve, and editorial pitches close 7 days before release. If your release date is set and your profiles aren't verified clean, the clock is already running.
Get a Release Readiness CheckOngoing engagements are structured as monthly retainers, scoped to the asset you're protecting — from a first release to a multi-artist label. Project sprints are available for defined, one-time builds.
Core administrative foundation for a working independent artist: registrations, release admin, and clean rights documentation from day one.
Active rights administration for a growing catalog: registry management, royalty tracking, metadata upkeep, and quarterly rights reporting.
Full label back-office: multi-artist release operations, catalog administration, vendor coordination, and financial reconciliation.
Embedded executive operations: strategy, team management, partner and deal coordination, and full operational ownership of your business.
Retainer scopes and rates are tailored to each engagement. Book a discovery call and we'll recommend the right tier for your operation.
Under Section 203 of the U.S. Copyright Act, creators may be able to terminate certain old grants and reclaim certain rights in compositions and, in some cases, sound recordings after 35 years — the single largest value event in the life of a music asset.
Signed a recording or publishing deal between 1988 and 1996? Your Section 203 window may already be open — and termination notices require years of lead time.
The deadlines are precise and unforgiving. Miss the notice window by one day, and the right to terminate is lost permanently. Most artists and heirs never learn the right exists until the window has passed.
