2021 Music Publishing Company Reviews

Sentric Music

• Cost: Free

Sentric Music first began independently publishing music in 2006. They are a British service with locations in Liverpool, London Hamburg, Spain, LA, and New York. Their purpose is to empower artists to collect royalties from the work they do. They have helped over 100,000 musicians find opportunities to elevate their careers by getting their music out on many popular streaming services.

Case studies on landing big gigs

There are quite a few recognizable brands that work with Sentric Music. Some of these include HBO, BBC, Reebok, Ford, H&M, XBOX, Michael Kors, Microsoft, Skype, and others. You can read case studies and view a showreel on Sentric's website about artists who used their services and landed big gigs after they were discovered there.

Music publishing 6 step process

Sentric Music has a clean, easy-to-navigate website that walks musicians through their process with ease. Their services can be broadly understood with this 6-step process:

1. Sign up for Sentric by providing your band/artist name, account contact name, address, and phone number.
2. Add song details to your account. Once this happens, they will automatically be registered in over 120 territories and you can begin collecting royalties.
3. Meet the artist service team. This group of individuals works to assist musicians every step of the way. They can be contacted via phone or email.
4. Register past and upcoming performances. If you're going to be playing your songs live, Sentric will help you collect the royalties you're owed from these shows.
5. Sync, exposure, and live performance. Sentric helps artists apply to have their music played on TV shows, video games, and advertisements.
6. Royalty collection and payment. Use Sentric's sync, broadcast, and live opportunities to further your music.

Very user-friendly

The Sentric Music platform is very user-friendly once you've created your login. From your account you can add and manage songs and details about your songwriters. Once you've added five or more songs, you can manage upcoming gigs, broadcasts, synchronization and other features. The platform makes it very streamlined to put all the necessary information in their system for publishing purposes.

80/20 royalty split

Now, onto the biggest questions in most artists' minds when looking for a music publishing company: How much does it cost, and how much of my royalties do I keep? Sentric Music does an 80/20 split, meaning you get 80% and they keep 20%. To join and use Sentric's services is free, which is a great deal compared to most other music publishing companies that either make you pay per song/album or per month. If you're in the US, keep in mind that you're dealing with a British company here, so royalties and other nitty-gritty financial details might be dealt in euros, not in dollars.

Lack of customer reviews

Sentric Music does not have a Better Business Bureau profile for us to see how users view their services. There is also little to be found from independent artists who have used their platform. The best we can find is other companies explaining how Sentric has helped artists claim royalties from shows and music releases they were owed by streamlining the process. Essentially, we have not seen or heard anything bad about Sentric. We would urge you to read all their fine print, but in the end it won't hurt to give them a shot since their services are free to use.

Sleek, straightforward, worth a try

Their website is sleek, straightforward, and boasts of many reputable companies they have worked with, which gives them more credibility. We like what we see from Sentric Music, so we suggest giving them a try when you're in the market for publishing your music.
