SERVICES

Three services,
and only three.

Recorded music, music publishing and merchandising. Artist management is not one of them; that sits with Rhythm & Brands, a separate company.

SERVICE OVERVIEW

What these services are

Recorded music is the label services side, for signed recording artists. Music publishing is the full service for those artists and the exploitation half of it for music buyers. Merchandising supports the artist relationship rather than being sold on its own. The artist owns her masters and her compositions throughout, and both revert at the end of the term.

THE PROCESS

How it works

01 Submit The submission is the real first step. It goes through Submit Your Music and gets an answer in five business days.
02 Discovery If there is interest, a scheduler link arrives by email and we talk about the work and where it is going.
03 Choose a path Self funded or Hathor funded. Both are published, both carry the same terms, and the artist chooses.
04 Release The masters stay hers. The administration right runs for the term, and both revert at the end of it.

FREQUENTLY ASKED

Frequently asked

Do I give up my masters?

No. The recording artist owns her masters and her compositions and goes on owning both. Hathor licenses the masters from her, with the right to license them onward, which is what makes a buyer’s clearance work. It takes an administration right in the compositions for the term. Both revert at the end of it.

What is the difference between the two deal paths?

Path A is self funded: the artist funds her career, Hathor advances nothing and recoups nothing, and the commission is 15 percent. Path B is Hathor funded: Hathor advances approved costs and recoups them from her income at a 20 percent commission. The license and administration terms are the same on both.

Does Hathor manage artists?

No. Artist management sits with Rhythm & Brands, which is a separate company. Hathor is a record label and a music publisher, and its clients are recording artists rather than songwriters or producers on their own.

Who registers the works, and with whom?

Hathor does, as part of the administration function. The performing rights organization is SESAC.
