Prepare your credits

Copy the producer’s name from the beat and agreement before uploading your song. Artist names, legal names and songwriter information can serve different purposes; use the information required by each field.

Keep credit consistent

Check your distributor’s credit fields, video description and promotional material against the agreement. Giving credit does not replace activating the license or meeting royalty obligations.
