Delivered detailed metadata registration and rights management services, focusing on ensuring accurate catalog records for streaming platforms and collection societies. Tasks included preparing metadata sheets, verifying PRO registrations (ASCAP, BMI, SESAC), coordinating copyright registration filings, and correcting incomplete entries using industry‑standard formats. I worked directly with artists to map songwriter and publisher splits, generate and assign correct ISRCs/ISWCs, and register works with entities like SoundExchange and mechanical licensing collective (MLC) systems. This role required precision in database maintenance and comprehensive understanding of rights frameworks to prevent revenue leakage and mispaid royalties.

Provide comprehensive music registration services for independent artists, songwriters, and producers on a high‑volume freelance platform. Responsibilities include conducting full song metadata audits, ensuring accurate music publishing and copyright registration, and enrolling works with major Performing Rights Organizations (PROs) such as ASCAP, BMI, PRS, and others. I manage royalty setup and collection pathways, including configuring ISRC/ISWC codes and publishing splits to ensure artists earn global payouts. I also troubleshoot and clean up existing registrations to resolve royalty discrepancies and prevent unclaimed earnings.
