Can independent artists benefit from music publishing?

Absolutely. Independent artists often assume that music publishing is only for signed musicians, but in reality, it is one of the best ways for independents to generate income. With publishing, even without a record label, artists can earn royalties from streaming platforms, YouTube, radio, and sync placements. For example, an indie artist who gets a song placed in a TV show or commercial can earn significant revenue through publishing rights. It also helps independents protect ownership of their songs, making sure their work isn’t stolen or misused. In today’s digital-first world, publishing gives independent musicians financial sustainability and industry recognition.
