Songwriters, important: Songs submitted have to be cleared for sync licensing as per the following guidelines (no exceptions):
AI Guidelines: Based on the current copyright report (https://songu.com/FAQAI.aspx), this guest will only consider songs with entirely human-authored lyrics and human-authored melodies. Since AI-generated tracks and productions (aka sound recordings) are not eligible for copyright protection, they cannot be pitched or placed for sync. Sorry, no AI-generated songs, vocals, or demos for sync pitches.
Also: You must own both your master (recordings) and 100% of your synchronization (publishing). If you do not...
- Then, all master owners, co-writer(s) or co-publisher(s), must also sign our licensing agreement. (No AI-generated material is accepted.)
- Songs must be CLEARED: meaning if you have paid musicians and/or singers, including background vocalists, you must have a signed 'work for hire' OR RELEASE form for each person involved in making your recording so that they have no further claim to the song. Please note that the producer who produced your recording should be able to help you acquire a work-for-hire agreement or release; however, in many cases, there may be a fee involved, particularly if the recording was purchased as a demo. No writers have signed with major publishing companies for major administration deals.
- Submissions must be MASTER/BROADCAST QUALITY recordings (No AI-demos permitted for this pitch). If we express interest, you will need to supply us with a mastered copy of both the song AND an instrumental track.
Pitch Follow-Up: If this guest expresses interest in your song you will be asked to sign an agreement for this project only (non-exclusive); with a 50%/50% split for both the master/sync licenses. Will not take publishing of the song, so the publisher/writers will get all the performance income. If there is no upfront licensing fee, the 'guest' will take 50% of the publishing income for this placement only. The 'guest' will not take ownership of the copyright.
