Setting up a music publishing company is one of the highest-leverage moves in the industry; yet most professionals get the foundation wrong.

Designed for emerging managers, artists and both prospective and newly established publishers, this masterclass provides the step-by-step blueprint to launch and expand right: from Creative & Sync to legal structures and rights registration to international collecting societies and deal-making.

Learn the different ways to get started in music publishing, protect your catalogue, avoid costly mistakes, and set up a publishing entity from day one.

The panel will also explain how to grow your catalogue beyond your first few writers and songs, expand your network, and scale up to a global, independent operating publisher.

You’re building your career differently from the generations before you. It’s no longer just about sending demos, signing with a label, releasing tracks, and touring. Today, your career can take off through content, community, virality, and the platforms you use every day.

This new way of sharing your music with the world allows you to move fast, build an audience, and create your own opportunities. But when things start moving quickly, do you know how to protect what you’ve built? Who owns your track? How should you split the rights? Are you getting the credits you deserve? And when your music takes off, are you actually getting paid?

In conversation with Quinten Moeshart (DGTL Publishing), Rooléh (DJ/Producer), and Mickelle Heijmans (Mickster Management), you’ll get practical tools, smart shortcuts, and insights from different sides of the industry to help you navigate rights, credits, splits, and the business behind your music. So you’re not just ready to break through, but ready for what happens when you do.
