Protection. Administration. Real Income.
Music publishing is the business of protecting, administering, and monetizing songs — not recordings.
If you wrote the song, publishing is how you get paid when that song is used anywhere in the world.
At I&I Music Publishing, our role is straightforward:
Help songwriters keep ownership, understand the system, and collect the money their music already generates.
What Music Publishing Actually Covers
Publishing governs the musical composition — the lyrics and melody — not the sound recording (the master).
When a song is:
- streamed
- broadcast on radio or television
- performed lives
- synchronized to film, TV, games, or advertising
- reproduced digitally or physically
… the songwriter earns publishing royalties.
These typically include:
- Performance royalties (BMI, ASCAP, etc.)
- Mechanical royalties from streaming and downloads
- Synchronization income
- International and derivative uses
Most writers don’t lose income because it isn’t there
They lose it because it isn’t properly administered.

- Metadata administration and royalty tracking
- Mechanical royalty collection and auditing
- Copyright coordination for compositions
- Catalog organization and long-term oversight
- Clear education around how publishing actually works

Ownership Is the Starting Point
Traditional publishers often require:
- partial ownership
- long contract terms
- cross-collateralized structures
At I&I:
- Writers retain 100% ownership of their compositions
- Writers maintain full creative control
- Writers receive transparent reporting
- We earn a percentage for administration and licensing support — not by taking your catalog.
Ownership isn’t a perk here. It’s the foundation.
Built for Writers. Structured for Supervisors.
For Songwriters
I&I is designed for writers who want:
- clarity around their publishing income
- properly registered compositions
- organized long-term catalogs
- education, not confusion
- partnership without surrendering rights
We don’t chase volume.
We build clean, durable publishing catalogs that pay over time.
For Music Supervisors & Licensing Partners
Our publishing catalog is administered with professional use in mind.
We prioritize:
- verified ownership information
- clean and complete metadata
- responsive licensing communication
- organized catalog structure
- one-stop clarity when available
Supervisors don’t need friction.
They need accuracy, speed, and confidence in the chain of rights.
Our systems are built accordingly.
How We Differ From Bulk Publishing Platforms
Large online services (Songtrust, TuneCore Publishing, CD Baby Pro) are built for scale and automation.
For some creators, that’s sufficient.
But at scale, many catalogs receive minimal human oversight, and income gaps often go unnoticed.
I&I Music Publishing takes a different approach.
We work with curated catalogs, not unlimited uploads.
This allows us to:
- verify metadata accuracy
- monitor catalog health
- identify missed or misdirected royalties
- maintain a high-signal publishing roster
In publishing, signal strength beats raw volume.
The I&I Publishing Philosophy
Together, we’re louder.
Independent writers often operate in isolation. Strong songs can remain invisible — not because of quality, but because structure and scale matter.
By bringing independent writers into a shared, well-administered catalog, we increase:
- visibility
- licensing readiness
- administrative accuracy
- long-term earning potential
As the catalog strengthens, so does its reach.
The success of one strengthens the whole.
Who I&I Publishing Is Built For
Best fit:
- writers of original music
- creators who own their compositions
- artists who value long-term ownership
- professionals who want clarity and structure
Not designed for:
- rights-flip strategies
- speculative advance seekers
- passive, hands-off catalogs
Publishing is not optional if you write songs.
Our job is to help you collect what you earn — without giving away what you create.
