Latch

For independent artists

Money is sitting in the pool.

Paste a name, songs, or codes. Find the money sorts them, checks public credits, and opens the royalty read. A clear name match goes straight in. ASCAP ACE still needs a paste on the Works tab, because ACE blocks automated reads.

Drop a stage name, a legal name, a song list, ISRCs, or an IPI in the same box. A spreadsheet with Title, Artist, ISRC, or Writer columns is sorted the same way. Tap a line if a label is wrong.

Song-only pastes open the independent desk. A single public name opens that catalog. Several names stay here so you can pick. Performing rights still need an ACE or BMI paste. This desk cannot file at Member Access for you.

5 desks

Master / artist share

On-demand DSPs pay the label or distributor. Unclaimed profiles and old accounts leak this.

3 desks

Mechanicals

Interactive streams pay composition owners through The MLC and other mechanical societies.

6 desks

Performing rights

Public performance of the song: radio, venues, TV, and some DSP reporting to PROs.

1 desks

Digital performance

Non-interactive radio, SiriusXM, Pandora, and webcasters pay SoundExchange, not Spotify.

01

Cast a wide net

Stage name, legal name, songs, and ISRCs can share one paste. The first short line is the name on the record. Tap it if that line is a song.

02

See what is registered

Paste titles from an ACE or BMI Repertoire writer search. The Works tab marks in-repertory vs missing. The MLC check is live. ASCAP still needs a paste because ACE blocks automated reads.

03

File the missing ones

Copy the registration kit and open Member Access. ASCAP has no public bulk upload for writer members. You file. We do not take a cut.

Streaming money does not live at the DSP.

Spotify already paid someone. Independents miss the slice that never left DistroKid, The MLC, SoundExchange, or a neighboring-rights society because the name or ISRC did not match. ASCAP only pays works you registered.

Latch cannot see your SoundExchange, MLC, BMI, ASCAP, or distributor balance. Exposure is a gap score from public catalog data plus independent leak patterns. Confirm on the official desks.
