Your Music. Your Money.
You know your music is worth more than you're getting
...and you're right
There is a second separate royalty you earned
when a recording of your song streams.
We get it for you before they take it.

"As the majors are creating more and more revenue through streaming, it has simultaneously become harder and harder for independent artists to monetize their music careers. On top of that, even industry executives have a hard time explaining how the fuck publishing really works when it comes to collecting. It's time to simplify things in a way that is meaningful to musicians."

Converge, Killer Be Killed, Mutoid Man
"Since digital music and streaming came along, tracking down and then getting your money has become a total nightmare. Giant corporations are literally stealing it from us. I’m pretty pissed off personally and I'm getting my money back!"

What is the Heavy Music Collective

The Heavy Music Collective is a community of musicians and royalties professionals that are committed to getting money back to the bands.

You feel like they built the system to screw you – and you're right. If you wrote a song or part of a song, they’re probably screwing you out of your royalties.

The Heavy Music Collective (HMC) teamed up with the founder of TuneCore, Audiam and Word Collections to ensure hardworking original bands like yours get all your money, take your power back, and stop getting f***ed.
