Interview with Simon Pursehouse, co-founder of Sentric Music a free music publishing and rights management service - February 15, 2010“There must be thousands of artists in the UK alone unaware of royalties they are entitled to … We can collect for them money every time they play live and every time they get played on radio.”
Being unsigned is no longer a barrier to making headway in the industry thanks to pioneering artist-friendly companies like Sentric Music. We’ve seen that hit singles are within grasp of the label-less, as demonstrated by our recent interview with online distributor Ditto Music, and now the gates of music publishing have been cast wide open. Helping the unsigned and independent collect royalties, secure syncs in TV and advertising, and all without stripping them of their precious copyright, is Sentric Music. Sentric co-founder Simon Pursehouse talks with HitQuarters about the reasons why so many artists are unaware of the royalties they are entitled to, how his company has synched up unknown songs with well known clients, and whether the publishing freedom they offer is the mark of things to come.
