Meet The Specialist

Hi! My name is Sophie Watt. I have 15 years of experience working in music publishing in both London and Los Angeles. I love building and developing independent careers for songwriters, where they retain ownership and control of their copyrights and maximize the earning potential of their catalogs.

I do this through devising customized career roadmaps for each client, identifying gaps and blindspots that may be hindering royalty flow and collections, advising on contract terminology, different deal structures, and licensing options, and offering long-term, flexible solutions that adapt to the ever-changing landscape of music usage and emerging revenue streams.

I aim to provide songwriters with the industry insider knowledge necessary to craft a successful and sustainable career in music that aligns with their personal values and long-term objectives.

Having started out my career in London in 2008 for the world’s leading independent music publisher, I subsequently moved to Los Angeles in 2015, supervising writer & publisher relations teams based on the West Coast, and in Nashville and Miami, and managing relationships with some of the world’s most elite songwriters, producers, and music publishers. I specialize in optimizing end-to-end global copyright administration, as well as royalty analysis and income tracking.

At a time when a single song can generate over 700,000 separate revenue streams, the world of music publishing can be intimidating for an independent songwriter. On the other hand, with the right advice and support, there has never been more opportunity for music creators to take control and harness the earning potential of their songs.

Areas Of Your Career I Focus On

  • Understanding Music Publishing
  • Global Music Copyright Licensing & Royalty Collection
  • Royalty Analysis & Income Tracking
  • Music Contract & Partnership Advice
  • Streaming Monetization

Ways We Can Work Together

  • Virtual via Zoom or Google Meet
