Have you heard of the black box of royalties?
Most artists haven’t.
Most artists haven’t.
Across the global music ecosystem, royalties can be generated but remain unmatched when recordings cannot be confidently linked to their rightful owners. The music still plays, the revenue still flows, but without clear attribution, those earnings can sit unresolved while systems attempt to reconcile the data.
In many rights environments, this matching window operates within defined holding periods often measured in years, and in some cases around three, after which unresolved funds may become eligible for redistribution under established industry rules.
Billions already sit unresolved, and each year new volumes continue to accumulate as recordings circulate faster than the data used to identify them.
That reality is not theoretical. It reflects how large-scale rights systems operate.
That reality was enough for us to start building.
Find My Royalties is being developed to bring greater visibility to how recordings are represented as they move across platforms, territories and rights environments helping artists understand where attribution may drift and where attention may be warranted.
If your music is out there, it’s worth knowing where the data stands.
A Soundfoundation initiative supporting greater transparency across recorded music rights.
