Most Wanted Monday: Time to Take your Trinkets of Success

Tracks are laid with the Treble meeting the bass. Trumpets sound as melodies seep between their Teeth. Time loses relevance as listeners Taste the passion with their ears. Making music is no simple Task. Trial and error, Trying and Trying again brings some to Triumph. Tackling the battle while fighting the pull of Trepidation artist use their Tongues to Talk the words music listeners fall in love with. Trusting listeners with their innermost feelings but never losing the Twinkle in their eyes. Thanks is all most artists ask. Thank artists is what SoundExchange loves to do. We’ve collected royalties signaling appreciation. Our only Trouble is getting them to register.

Testimonial Tuesday: Meet us at SXSW 2012

Everyday we send and receive countless emails, faxes and phone calls for the sake of distributing royalties. Some times we’re looking for an artist, other times we need updated payment information and even still there are times we need help cleaning up the data to identify who the royalties are owed to. It’s great that we have all these means of communication but we’d still like to meet you in person.

SoundExchange sends out tens of millions of dollars in royalties each quarter, to music creators and rights owners all over the world. But what happens when those checks start arriving in the mailboxes of those who’ve never been paid for their music before? Nashville’s Anita Wadhwani wanted to find out. She interviewed SoundExchange royalty recipients and confirmed what you’ve been telling us for years: those little checks make a big difference. Even better news? The checks aren’t little anymore.
