Before we were KnowTheBiz.com, we were LearnTheMusicBizOnline.net (glad we shortened it?). My partner and music marketing guru, Miles Dixon, had a detailed conversation with the Senior Vice President, Licensing, Collections and Business Affairs, at the Harry Fox Agency (HFA), Maurice Russell.
Mr. Russell shared exactly what HFA does and how it helps publishers (and therefore songwriters) collect the Mechanical Royalties owed to them by record labels and others who release their music. For those who don’t know, as a songwriter, if you have commercially recorded music, you are by far more likely to collect money with HFA than you are from a PRO (ASCAP, BMI, SESAC, and SoundExchange).
If you were ever unclear about Mechanical Royalties and how they differ from Performance Royalties (which your PRO collects), then you MUST listen to this interview.
