Admin Services

Rose City Essence Music empowers indie artists and labels to operate as fully formed music publishers. We handle remote setup services, royalty registration, and catalog organization to ensure you're paid from every platform your music touches.

We also offer branding and marketing consultation to help you reach your fans authentically.

Royalty collection

Our Royalty Collection Setup service ensures that your music is properly registered with the key organizations responsible for tracking and paying out the royalties you’re already earning — but might not be receiving.

We walk you through the complete registration process with the organizations that match your needs, including your preferred Performing Rights Organization (PRO) — such as ASCAP or BMI — as well as The MLC, Harry Fox Agency or Songtrust, and SoundExchange.

This service is designed to capture all major royalty streams generated by your music:

  • Performance Royalties: Earned when your music is played on radio, TV, streaming services, or live venues. Collected by PROs (e.g., ASCAP, BMI).

  • Mechanical Royalties: Generated from physical and digital reproductions (downloads, streams, vinyl, etc.). Collected by The MLC (for U.S. digital mechanicals), Harry Fox Agency, or Songtrust.

  • Neighboring Rights / Digital Performance Royalties: Earned when your master recording is played on non-interactive digital platforms like Pandora, SiriusXM, and internet radio. Collected by SoundExchange.

  • International Royalties: If you choose Songtrust or expand globally, we help you collect royalties earned outside the U.S. as well.

We ensure your metadata is accurate across platforms, your rights are correctly represented, and your registrations are fully optimized for royalty tracking and payout. You’ll receive confirmation of every account created and resources to track your works moving forward.

All registration fees are covered with your payment!

Brand Consulting

Our Brand Consulting service helps artists build a clear, authentic identity that resonates with their audience and aligns with their long-term goals. We work with you to define the creative direction of your brand — visually, sonically, and culturally — so that every piece of content you release feels intentional and true to who you are.

This service includes collaborative sessions to develop your:

  • Core Brand Identity: Clarify your mission, story, values, and aesthetic so you can present yourself consistently across platforms.

  • Content Strategy: We outline a custom roadmap for your social media, visual content, rollouts, and audience engagement — built around your lifestyle, personality, and creative energy.

  • Creative Direction: Guidance on photoshoots, videos, artwork, and styling to ensure every release and campaign reinforces your identity.

  • Audience Building: Strategic positioning to grow your fanbase through storytelling, consistency, and visual branding that sticks.

  • Digital Advertising: Paid ad strategies across Facebook, YouTube, and TikTok with our marketing partners.

What sets our approach apart is our focus on authenticity. We don’t mold you into a trend — we amplify what’s already there. Whether you're launching your brand or reintroducing yourself, we’ll help you create a blueprint that honors your voice while elevating your visibility.

catalog services

Our Catalog Management service ensures that every song you’ve released — and every new one you create — is properly registered, tracked, and ready to generate income. Whether your catalog is a few songs or a full discography, we help you organize and maintain your data across all royalty collection agencies and platforms.

We handle:

  • Metadata Audits & Updates: We review your existing releases to ensure your song titles, writer splits, ISRCs, and other essential metadata are accurate and consistent across your PRO, The MLC, SoundExchange, and distributor platforms.

  • New Song Registration: As you release new music, we assist with registering your songs to all affiliated royalty collection agencies, making sure they’re properly linked to your publishing and recording rights.

  • Copyright Assistance: We walk you through the U.S. Copyright Office registration process for songs you want to protect formally, providing guidance on ownership, filing, and documentation.

  • Trademarking: Get help trademarking your brand, artist, or band’s name and logo.

Clean metadata and consistent registrations are the foundation of royalty collection. Without them, you’re leaving money on the table. Our service is built to help you claim your intellectual property, track your income accurately, and future-proof your catalog for sync, licensing, and publishing opportunities.
