The music industry has evolved rapidly in the digital age, but one thing remains the same—songwriters, producers and music creators are still missing out on millions in royalties they can’t collect on their own. Many music creators believe that signing up with a Performing Rights Organization (PRO) like ASCAP or BMI is enough to receive all their earnings, but the reality is far more complex.
Royalties are generated from multiple global pay sources, and many of these organizations prefer to work with a professional intermediary rather than directly with independent songwriters. This is where The Mezzo Agency comes in. With over $2 million in recovered unclaimed royalties, a 5-star rating on Google, and recognition as one of the Top 100 Music Publishers in the U.S. by the National Music Publishers Association (NMPA), we have established ourselves as a trusted leader in music administration and royalty collection.
The Royalties Songwriters Are Missing
If you’re a songwriter, producer, or music creator, chances are you have unpaid royalties sitting in accounts worldwide, waiting to be collected. Without a publishing administrator, these earnings remain out of reach.
Here are just a few of the revenue sources that The Mezzo Agency collects on behalf of its clients:
- Performance Rights Royalties – Earned when your song is streamed, played on the radio, performed live, or played in retail stores, bars, and other venues. We ensure these are collected from domestic PROs such as ASCAP, BMI, and SESAC.
- Mechanical Royalties – Earned from streams, downloads, and physical sales, these royalties are often trapped at digital platforms and international rights organizations.
- Neighboring Rights – A type of performance royalty collected in certain countries that PROs do not distribute to independent songwriters.
- Unmatched & Black Box Royalties – Royalties left unclaimed due to missing metadata, which eventually get redistributed if not properly collected.
- Foreign Royalties – Many international societies will only release payments to a recognized publishing administrator.
- Micro Sync Royalties – A growing revenue stream from apps that couple video with music and/or user-generated content, such as TikTok, Meta (Facebook & Instagram), and YouTube.
These royalties often go unclaimed because global pay sources don’t want to deal directly with independent music creators—they prefer working with an experienced administrator who understands the complex publishing landscape.
