3 Music Business Tips for 2022
In this article I discuss 3 key music business for collecting all of your music royalties. Tl;dr: Sign up for a PRO (e.g. ASCAP), use a company like Distrokid to release music, and sign up for SongTrust and SoundExchange for streaming and radio royalties
My music business began in 2017 with a laptop and Audacity. I used my first music distributor, Routenote.com, to release Solfeggio Frequencies. Since then, a lot has changed and I’ve learned a lot about the music business.
I’ve started publishing music with more instruments (e.g. Breve Orchestra and Breve Low Brass Ensemble)
Here are 3 key business tips for music business in 2022:

Lyrics
As I walk through the streets of my new city
My back feeling much better, I suppose
I've reclaimed the use of my imagination
For better or for worse, I've yet to know
But I always knew you'd be the one to understand me,
I guess that's why it took so long to get things right.
Suddenly I'm lost
On my street
On my block
Oh why, Oh why
Oh why haven't you been there for me?
Can't you see, I'm losing my mind this time?
This time I think it's for real, I can see
All the tree tops turning red
The beggars near bodegas grin at me
I think they want something
I close my eyes, I tell myself to breathe
And be calm.
Be calm.
I know you feel like you are breaking down.
Oh I know that it gets so hard sometimes.
Be calm.
I'm scared that everyone is out to get me.
"These days before you speak to me you pause."
"I always see you looking out your window."
"After all, you lost your band, you left your mom."
Now every single crack, every penny that I pass,
Says I should either leave or pick it up
But with every single buck I've made
I'm saddled with bad luck that came
The moment I was baptized
Or when I found out one day I'm gonna die
If only I could find my people or my place in life
A when they come a'carolin'
So loud, so bright, the theremin
Will lead us to a chorus
Where we'll all rejoice and sing a song that goes:
Oh be calm.
Be calm.
I know you feel like you are breaking down.
I know that it gets so hard sometimes,
Be calm.
Take it from me, I've been there a thousand times.
You hate your pulse because it thinks you're still alive
And everything's wrong
It just gets so hard sometimes
Be calm.
I don't remember much that night,
Just walking, thinking fondly of you
Thinking how the worst is yet to come
When from that street corner came a song
And I can't remember the man,
The panhandler or his melody.
The words exchanged had far exceeded any change I'd given thee.
Oh be calm.
Be calm.
I know you feel like you are breaking down.
Oh I know that it gets so hard sometimes,
Be calm.
Take it from me, I've been there a thousand times.
You hate your pulse because it still thinks you're alive
And everything's wrong
It just gets so hard sometimes
Be calm.
Be calm.

All I could think of was "The Power of The Moonstone" for the title.
The title could use some work 😬
Obviously, the music and the clips are not mine. If it were, I would be rich lol

In 1957, Jerry Lee Lewis and his trio were #1 on the charts with Great Bals Of Fire and this is a music video of that song. Lyrics You shake my nerves and you rattle my brain Too much love drives a man insane You broke my will, but what a thrill Goodness gracious, great balls of fire I laughed at love 'cause I thought it was funny You came along and you moved me honey I've changed my mind, this love is fine Goodness gracious, great balls of fire Kiss me, baby, ooh, feels good Hold me, baby Well, I'll still love you like a lover should You're fine, so kind Got to tell this world that you're mine, mine, mine, mine I chew my nails and then I twiddle my thumbs I'm real nervous, but it sure is fun Come on, baby, you drive me crazy Goodness gracious, great balls of fire Well kiss me, baby, ooh, feels good Hold me, baby Well, I'll still love you like a lover should You're fine, so kind Got to tell this world that you're mine, mine, mine, mine I chew my nails and I twiddle my thumbs Real nervous, but it sure is fun Come on, baby, drive me crazy Goodness gracious, great balls of fire Source: LyricFind Songwriters: Jack Hammer / Otis Blackwell Great Balls Of Fire lyrics © Capitol CMG Publishing, Integrity Music, Songtrust Ave, Sony/ATV Music Publishing LLC, Universal Music Publishing Group, Warner Chappell Music, Inc Never Miss An Upload, Join the channel: https://cutt.ly/MrPsClassicTV

Downtown, Publishing Firm Turned Creative Services Company, Expects Another Round of Layoffs
As of March 23rd, it became public across Billboard, Music Business Worldwide, and World News Era that Downtown Music Holdings will lay off employees once again. Those affected will likely be within “CD Baby, Downtown Music Publishing, Songtrust, and Downtown Music Holdings divisions.” It has not been established the number of individuals who will be laid off, only that it will occur eventually. Despite this memo, new hiring seems to still be occurring — Downtown still has job postings available on LinkedIn for a variety of locations.
What's shocking is that less than six months ago Downtown cut 28 jobs. This additional round of layoffs reflects the effects of the current, harsh economic climate. The world watched as big tech experienced hiring freezes and layoffs not long ago, and it seems as though even the music industry cannot escape the same fate.
What is of note is that Downtown plans to lay off the majority of publishing-based roles. It is also interesting that though Downtown's original reputation was a “traditional publishing firm,” harboring a number of songs within their inventory, within the last two years they have actually sold all of their rights to any intellectual property. And today, they are pitching themselves as a creative services company, aiding artists without taking a cut of their intellectual property. This is groundbreaking.
Another word for this type of company is a “label services” company and it’s a recent development and trend within the music industry.
In January of 2023, Sony Music invested energy into a new label services company called Santa Anna but even since 2018, companies like Platoon have been providing services for artists without taking ownership or rights in exchange.
Considering that in 2021 Sony Music had a 21.7% market share of the music market globally, the fact that they’re investing in unconventional contracts with artists may signal a shift in how contracts between artists and labels may look in the future. Will artists finally be given a longer end-of-the-contract stick? And how long will it be until artist or label services companies become the new norm?

When it is burning inside
When all you think of

And when you want it
It's just a game that you play
And when you get it
They're gonna take it away
Maybe it's nothing
Maybe it's all just in my mind
Maybe I'm foolish
Maybe it's just a waste of time
But I don't think so
Maybe I definitely know

You want to come out to play

'Cause he's got plans for the day
And if I want it
There's no one out there for me
When you don't need it
There's plenty fish in the sea
Maybe it's nothing
Maybe it's all just in my mind
Maybe I'm foolish
Maybe it's just a waste of time
But I don't think so
Maybe I definitely know
Why do I keep fooling myself
Why can't I let go
This is not like me

Downtown Music Holdings has promoted Molly Neuman to the newly created position of Chief Marketing Officer of the company.
In her new role she will oversee marketing and communications initiatives across the breadth of Downtown’s global group of owned and operated music companies.
Neuman most recently served as President of Songtrust, the world’s largest and most accessible global publishing administration service.
She joined Songtrust in 2017 as Global Head of Business Development and was elevated to President in 2019.
Under Neuman’s leadership, Songtrust has grown to represent more than 3 million copyrights for more than 350,000 writers in 145 countries, as well as tens of thousands of business clients, including record labels, distributors and boutique publishers.
With her departure, Rob Wetstone and Susanne Dawursk who lead Revenue and Marketing at the company respectively, will oversee Songtrust.
Prior to joining Songtrust, Neuman was Head of Music at Kickstarter and Interim President and Vice President of the American Association of Independent Music (A2IM).
She’s held senior roles in label relations and licensing at digital music services, in addition to serving on the boards of Music Biz, SoundExchange and A2IM.
Neuman got her start as the drummer for the influential Riot Grrrl band, Bratmobile, and Downtown says she has remained “a vocal advocate for diversity and inclusion within the music industry”.
“As we continue our global expansion through our powerful suite of services available to the music industry, Molly’s skills as a communicator, evangelist and a leading voice in our industry will serve her well in this important new role.”
Andrew Bergman, Downtown Music Holdings
Andrew Bergman, CEO of Downtown Music Holdings, said: “Over the past five years, Molly has led Songtrust through a period of dramatic growth, establishing the company as one of the largest and most successful independent music publishing administration services in the world.
“As we continue our global expansion through our powerful suite of services available to the music industry, Molly’s skills as a communicator, evangelist and a leading voice in our industry will serve her well in this important new role.”
“My time at Songtrust developing and growing our offer of global music publishing administration services to the traditionally overlooked community of creators has been incredibly rewarding.”
Molly Neuman
Neuman added: “My time at Songtrust developing and growing our offer of global music publishing administration services to the traditionally overlooked community of creators has been incredibly rewarding.
“I am grateful to Andrew and Justin [Kalifowitz] for entrusting me with this larger role as we continue to refine our offerings at Downtown. I have no doubt that Rob and Susanne will brilliantly carry on our work at Songtrust.

The following article has been posted on June 14, 2022 at 11:17PM:

We will continue to find what’s available in the world of music entertainment, concert information and music releases. But obviously you – the listener and reader are the biggest source for news in your area, so if you can share with us. For right now, look at what we found for you:
“From The Billboard Magazine Website – GAYLE, Rostam, Rob Thomas & More Team to Help ‘Reinvigorate the NYC Music Scene’”
At this week’s Anti Social Music Camp, 150 signed artists will create 100 songs in three days to “remind the music industry that there is still a wealth of talent here in New York.”
Anti Social Producers Club, described as an “underground collective of music producers,” will host its second annual Anti Social Camp in New York City from Monday through Friday (June 13 to 17) in an effort to help rejuvenate the city’s music scene.
“We created Anti Social Producers Club to build community and remind the music industry that there is still a wealth of talent here in New York,” Anti Social Producers Club founder Danny Ross said in a statement. “Anti Social Camp is not only the biggest songwriting camp in recent memory — with 150 signed artists creating 100 songs in 3 days — but it’s a vehicle to reinvigorate the NYC music scene. Thank you to our partners for building this historic event with us. For all those who believe that the music industry has completely shifted to L.A. over the last decade, I have one message — New York is back.”
GAYLE
The camp will see 150 signed artists, producers and writers creating 100 new tracks in three days “with the goal of putting the NYC music scene back on the map,” according to a press release, through sessions taking place both in-person and over Zoom.

Since you are the official charmie playlist owner, just wanted to give you a song that gives me charmie vibes: cigarettes after sex - Sweet 😄
Most people never pay attention to my song posts, so thank you for the suggestion and for the lovely compliment. I’m flattered that anyone noticed, even if it’s not, lol. And yes, there are some strong Charmie vibes in this tender song. Something about it makes me think of Elio and Oliver, and I follow where my mind goes.
So here it is, just for you, @wooow2020
youtube
Add this to your Charmie playlist:
SWEET by Cigarettes After Sex
Watching the video that you sent me
The one where you're showering with wet hair dripping
You know that I'm obsessed with your body
But it's the way you smile that does it for me
It's so sweet, knowing that you love me
Though we don't need to say it to each other, sweet
Knowing that I love you, and running my fingers through your hair
It's so sweet
Watching the video where you're lying
In your red lingerie ten times nightly
You know I think your skin's the perfect color
But it's always your eyes that pull me under
It's so sweet, knowing that you love me
Though we don't need to say it to each other, sweet
Knowing that I love you, and running my fingers through your hair
It's so sweet
And I will gladly break it
I will gladly break my heart for you
And I will gladly break it
I will gladly break my heart for you
And I will gladly break it
I will gladly break my heart for you
And I will gladly break it
I will gladly break my heart for you
It's so sweet, knowing that you love me
Though we don't need to say it to each other, sweet
Knowing that I love you, and running my fingers through your hair
It's so sweet
