Music Publishing Administration & Global Royalty Collection

You're making money now. Your metadata should be catching up.

Global royalty registration and collection for artists who’ve outgrown self-serve.

PrimalHouse provides music publishing administration for independent artists, songwriters, labels, publishers, and catalog owners — including global song registration, royalty collection, metadata management, and back-catalog audits.

Clean data, honest commission, and real people behind it.

The Problem

  • Most distributors now default to a 20% publishing admin commison, unless you opt out. Most artists never do, because they never see the option.
  • Self-serve platforms register you as one account among hundreds or thousands. There’s no one to call when a registration is wrong, and no way to know it’s wrong until the money doesn’t show up.
  • A music supervisor without clean rights info doesn’t wait for you to fix it. They move to the next artist in the folder, and the placement is gone, not delayed.
  • ISP/SDPs now run automated fraud and spam detection on every upload. Spotify alone pulled tens of millions of flagged tracks in 2025/2026. Inconsistent or poorly registered metadata is exactly the kind of pattern that gets a legitimate release caught in that net. 

What We Do

  •                  Industry Default: 20% PrimalHouse: 15%

  • Lower Commission. 15%, not the 20% many distributors now default to. No tiers, no hidden setup fee.
  • Clean Metadata. Metadata is the financial backbone of your catalog. Every submission is checked for writer splits, ISWCs, and territories. All before your song gets registered. 
  • Free Back-Catalog Audit. Send what you’ve already released. We’ll show you exactly what’s misregistered or uncollected. No cost, No obligation.
  • ISPs now run automated fraud and spam detection on every upload. Spotify alone pulled tens of millions of flagged tracks in 2025/2026. Inconsistent or poorly registered metadata is exactly the kind of pattern that gets a legitimate release caught in that net.

How It Works

  • Submitted: Send your catalog – new releases or your full back catalog. If a song doesn’t have an ISRC yet, we can assign one at intake. 
  • Verified: Every writer split, ISWC, and territory is checked for accuracy.
  • Registered: Filed globally across every relevant territory and society. 
  • Collecting: You get paid, and a real person you can actually reach. 

Why PrimalHouse?

“Clean data isn’t an add-on for us. It’s the whole job.”

 We built our administration infrastructure to serve institutional and government clients who can’t afford a single mistake. Compliance errors become a real problem for Film & TV Production Companies, Universities, City Media Teams, and Public Agencies. Our same standard of accuracy now backs every independent artist we work with.
