RadMedia Artist Resources

Learn what needs to be handled before the music gets exposed.

A premium resource library for artists, managers, producers, and indie labels who need clearer direction around PROs, copyright, catalog setup, release planning, and sync readiness.

Start Here

Use the right assessment first.

These resources are helpful, but the assessments tell artists what is actually missing. Less guessing, fewer expensive detours, fewer “why didn’t anyone tell me this?” moments.

F

Artist Foundation Assessment

Review the artist setup behind the music: identity, rights, EPK, branding, contact path, and business foundation.

Start Foundation →
C

Catalog Revenue Assessment

Check whether released music is organized to collect, track, pitch, and support revenue opportunities.

Start Catalog →
R

Release Readiness Assessment

Check whether a song is ready before release day, including files, rights, metadata, artwork, rollout, and follow-up.

PRO Basics

Performance Rights Organizations help songwriters, composers, and publishers collect public performance royalties. Artists should understand their writer share, publisher share, and song registrations.

Copyright Setup

Copyright protects the musical work and sound recording. Before momentum grows, artists need clearer records around ownership, authorship, collaborations, files, and release details.

Sync Readiness

Sync opportunities move faster when songs are organized: clean files, instrumental versions, lyrics, mood notes, ownership clarity, licensing contact, and one clear approval path.

Metadata & Collection

ISRCs, UPCs, credits, release dates, platform profiles, mechanical royalties, digital performance royalties, and statements all matter. The boring parts are where money likes to hide.

Before You Book a Review

Bring the pieces RadMedia can actually review.

The cleaner your information is, the faster we can identify the real issue. Not because we enjoy paperwork. Sadly, paperwork is where the music business keeps the answers.

Song titles, release links, ISRCs, UPCs, and release dates
PRO information and song registration status
Split sheets, producer agreements, or ownership notes
Artist bio, EPK, website, photos, and social links
Masters, clean versions, instrumentals, lyrics, and artwork
Current release plan, content plan, or catalog goals
