Carlos Souffront<\/strong>, president of Rimas Publishing<\/a><\/strong>, says music publishers can serve a broader role as independent artists and songwriters navigate rights, deals and international opportunities. In his view, support with career decisions can sit alongside the core work of administering songs and collecting royalties.<\/p>\n

Registering works, managing rights and securing payment remain central publishing responsibilities. Souffront argues that creators may also need help assessing collaborations, placements in film or advertising, entry into new markets and the long-term value of a catalog.<\/p>\n

Those decisions can be especially consequential early in a songwriter\u2019s or producer\u2019s career, when attention is often focused on creating music. Understanding rights and the terms of a deal can shape opportunities years after a song\u2019s release.<\/p>\n

Souffront says working with a publisher can be compatible with independence if creators retain control over their direction. He describes a publisher\u2019s role as providing expertise, relationships, creative support and international reach while working alongside a creator\u2019s existing team.<\/p>\n

Cross-border work can add business complexity. A songwriter based in Puerto Rico, for example, might collaborate with a producer in London, write for an artist in Mexico and reach listeners elsewhere. Rimas Publishing manages publishing licenses for clients globally, including for film, television and advertising.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Carlos Souffront says publishers can help independent creators assess career opportunities alongside administering rights and collecting royalties.","protected":false},"author":6,"featured_media":24337,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"csco_display_header_overlay":false,"csco_singular_sidebar":"","csco_page_header_type":"","csco_page_load_nextpost":"","csco_post_video_location":[],"csco_post_video_location_hash":"","csco_post_video_url":"","csco_post_video_bg_start_time":0,"csco_post_video_bg_end_time":0,"_jetpack_feature_clip_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false},"categories":[515],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-24336","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-tech-innovation","cs-entry","cs-video-wrap"],"yoast_head":"\nBeyond Royalties: Rethinking the Role of the Music Publisher<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Independence doesn't mean doing it alone.
