Owed Master Royalties? Elizabeth Music Group Master Royalties Goes After the Money Record Labels Haven’t Paid

Behind almost every recording is a producer or artist holding master points they have never been paid on. The record came out and the streams added up, but the royalty statements never arrived. Elizabeth Music Group Master Royalties was set up for exactly this situation. Its promise is direct: “We find and collect the master royalties you’re owed by record labels.”

Master Royalties vs Publishing Royalties

Many musicians mix up the two kinds of royalties. Publishing royalties come from the composition: the melody, lyrics and underlying song. Master royalties come from the sound recording itself and are generated every time that recording is streamed or used across DSPs.

If you produced a record, or you are an artist with points on a release, you may be entitled to a share of master income. Collecting it usually means dealing with labels directly, and many musicians don’t have the time, contacts or leverage to do that.

How the Service Works

Elizabeth Music Group Master Royalties has made the process simple and clear. It runs in four steps:

  1. Submit your catalog. Creators share their catalog details and master royalty entitlements.
  2. Review. The team checks rights, metadata, ownership and any existing contracts.
  3. Collection. Elizabeth Music Group Master Royalties contacts labels and collection sources and handles the registrations and follow-ups.
  4. Payment. Royalties are reported and paid out according to the agreement.

The team also handles metadata organization, ownership verification, contract review and label communication. It can even help clear records where no formal contract exists, which is a common problem for producers who worked on handshake deals.

Who It’s For

The service is open to musicians worldwide in any territory. It is built for:

  • Artists with master royalty points
  • Producers with a share in master recordings
  • Creators already in publishing deals, since master rights are handled separately
  • Anyone who hasn’t been paid after a record has recouped

The last group is bigger than most people realise. Once a record recoups its costs, artists and producers with points should start receiving royalties. In practice those payments are often delayed, miscalculated or never sent. Elizabeth Music Group Master Royalties acts as the creator’s representative in chasing that income.

Part of a Bigger Mission

Master Royalties sits alongside Elizabeth Music Group’s publishing arm. You do not have to utilize Elizabeth Music Group Publishing to work with Elizabeth Music Group Master Royalties. Both are guided by the same values of transparency and education that founder TheZachMichael built the company on. After more than a decade in production and sync licensing, he saw how often musicians were missing out on the money their work and songs generated. This service is designed to close that gap on the master royalty side.

Start With a Free Catalog Review

Musicians who think they may be owed master royalties can submit their catalog for a free review. For producers and artists with records already out, it could be the fastest way to find out what they are owed and start getting paid.
