01For artists and partners
Real infrastructure, available to you
Label services, distribution, publishing administration and sync licensing for artists and partners working with FMKR.
Who this is for
Artists who have finished a record and do not want to hand over the rights to release it. Producers sitting on a catalogue that has never been registered. Managers who need a publishing administrator that answers email. Brands and supervisors who need a clean licence with one signature.
We work with people we sign and with people we do not. The terms differ; the infrastructure is the same.
Label services
The full release apparatus without the full signing. Release planning, mastering supervision, artwork and creative direction, metadata and delivery, DSP pitching, and campaign management around a date that suits the record.
Term-limited, catalogue-specific, and structured so the masters stay where they started unless we agree otherwise in writing.
Distribution
Delivery to the streaming services, digital stores and the physical channels that still matter for the formats we press. Metadata done properly the first time — correct credits, correct splits, correct ISRCs — because fixing it later costs more than doing it now.
Reporting is monthly and itemised. You can see what a track earned in a territory without asking for a breakdown.
Publishing administration
Registration, collection and administration of compositions across the societies. We register works at the point of creation rather than the point of release, which is the difference between collecting from day one and back-claiming for two years.
Writers keep their share. We take an administration fee, not a copyright.
Sync and licensing
One-stop clearance where we control both master and composition, which is most of the catalogue. That means a supervisor gets a yes or a no from a single conversation, and a rate that does not need three parties to agree.
We licence for film, television, advertising, games and installation. Rates are quoted against use, term and territory in the usual way. Turnaround on a straightforward request is a working day.
Working with us
Demos go through the demo intake. Licensing and sync enquiries go to the licensing desk and reach the rights team directly. Everything else goes to general.
We read what arrives. A reply takes as long as it takes, but it comes.
Send us the record.
Demo submissions go to A&R. Include links rather than attachments, and tell us what you are looking for — a release, a services deal, or publishing administration.
