Publishing
Acting as your publisher, Winding Way Music Publishing (a division of Winding Way Records, LLC.) may help you secure your Performance Rights royalties, Mechanical Rights royalties, Master and Synchronization contracts and sheet music proceeds. Order publishing services here.
Winding Way Music Publishing entered into a 5 Year Publisher Affiliation Agreement with Broadcast Music, Inc. (BMI). BMI is one of the largest Performance Rights Organizations (PRO) and by having this agreement in place, Winding Way Records, LLC and its artists shall have their rights and royalties income secured on their Music Works.
As your publisher, we register your music works with the Copyright office, register you at the leading Performance Rights Organization (PRO) such as BMI, and help make sure your royalties are tracked correctly. Our goal is to help you maintain your publishing rights so our publishing agreement percentage split is very small. Our percentage will be enough to cover administrative costs and to give us the right to administer your registrations but we will not seek more than a few percent in these deals. As your Advocate, we will advise against a traditional publishing deal where you sign over 100% of your rights
Your Music Works are valuable, especially if placed. As your Sync Rep and Publisher, we help you by facilitating the licensing of your music by sharing with industry professionals and then by granting Master & Synchronization License(s) to radio, television, video streaming and motion picture studios for their right to synchronize your music master to their production.
For more information, feel free to contact us here!
Record Label
Winding Way Records is a record label and as such may help you by supporting the production, recording, distribution and sale of your music. We are different because unlike a traditional record label, we do not take ownership of the master recording, the copyright or publishing. If you depart the label you retain all your rights to your music.

Sync-Rep
One way Winding Way Records can help the artist is to act as their “Sync Rep”. In this role, Artists receive Master and Synchronization (Sync) payments from Winding Way Records acting as their Synchronization Representative (Sync Rep) who in turn works with producers of radio, television and movie producers that pay the artist for the exclusive or non-exclusive use of their Music Works and/or Sound Recording that is used in the production of a radio or TV commercial, a TV show, documentary or movie. The term Sync means synchronization of the sound recording with the existing audio, video or film.

We are seeking artists and their works to place into the Advertising, Television, Movie, Radio and Video Gaming industries. If we believe your songs, compositions, music works and sound recordings are a good fit for this use, we may be willing to enter into a Sync Rep agreement with you and help you get placed. The industry standard is a 50% commission but that is not fair to the artists; we are offering this service at a 30% commission during the term of the placement.
