LabelWorx Launches Publishing Division

LabelWorx, the global distribution and label services provider for independent electronic music, has launched its publishing division, offering publishing administration and sample clearance services for its clients.

Why it matters:

• The company says the move reflects artists’ and labels’ increasing demand for flexible, transparent, and track-level monetization models.

• At the core of the offering is a Single Song Assignment (SSA) model that allows artists and labels to opt in on a per-track basis, rather than committing to long-term publishing agreements.

What they said:

• Dominic Kerley, VP at LabelWorx: “Publishing has traditionally required artists to choose between access and autonomy. Our goal is to remove that trade-off. By focusing on Single Song Assignments and proactive sample clearance, we’re giving artists and labels the flexibility they need to move quickly, while ensuring their music is fully prepared for today’s licensing opportunities.”
