New Feature: Record Label & Agency Integration

Managing a roster of artists shouldn't mean drowning in spreadsheets. Yet most digital platforms today focus on individual creators, leaving label and agency teams to rely on spreadsheets, manual processes, and disconnected systems.

At Monetunes, we believe this gap should not exist. That’s why we’re launching our new Record Label & Agency Integration, a feature specifically designed to bring automation, transparency, and efficiency to those managing rosters at scale.

Why This Matters

Until now, record labels and agencies have lacked access to modern publishing administration tools that match the scale and complexity of their operations. Our new feature solves this by offering:

• A unified dashboard to manage contracts, artists, expenses, and payouts

• Commission-only pricing with no subscriptions or hidden fees

• Automated, quarterly royalty statements and payments with zero manual input

New feature interface

Core Capabilities

Payee Manager: Simply add the artist’s first and last name, email address, and upload the front and back of their ID.

Contract Vault: This allows you to upload contracts for each artist or release and set royalty splits, which can be reused across multiple works. We’ll be releasing more updates in the future to make contract management even easier.

Expense Allocations: Labels and agencies can log recoupable expenses such as promotional budgets, tour advances, or studio fees. You can choose how these expenses are deducted: from the payee share, gross revenue, or as a pro rata split.

Automated Royalty Runs: Every quarter, Monetunes handles the entire royalty cycle, we consolidate revenue collections, apply royalty splits and deductions, generate statements, and issue mass payouts via Wise. All of this occurs automatically, without any manual effort required by the label. Once a statement is ready, the artist receives an email inviting them to sign up on their own portal, fully branded with the record label’s name and logo.

White-Glove Onboarding: To ensure a smooth transition, Monetunes offers free data migration support. Our team imports your existing catalog and maps metadata (including ISRC/ISWC codes) at no additional cost.

How the Business Model Works

• Monetunes charges a 15% commission on net collections, in line with our standard offering

• There are no subscriptions, minimum fees, or setup costs

• Payouts are processed every 90 days, both to the label and to artists

• The settlement process is straightforward: the label is paid first, expenses are deducted, and the remaining artist shares are paid directly unless the label chooses to manage that distribution

A Step-by-Step Guide for Labels and Agencies

Getting started is simple. Labels sign up and select the “Label/Agency” option, then import their entire roster of artists and payees in one go via CSV or API. Next, contracts are uploaded, and royalty splits are configured for each release. As expenses come up, they’re logged directly in the system.

From there, Monetunes takes over - every quarter, it automatically consolidates all collections, applies the royalty splits and deductions, generates detailed statements, and processes payouts. Throughout the process, both labels and artists have full visibility into earnings, recoupment, and balances through real-time dashboards.

Publishing, but built for rosters

The launch of Record Label & Agency Integration reflects Monetunes’ commitment to solving real-world challenges faced by modern music businesses. What once required hours of manual coordination is now handled in minutes. That’s the difference Monetunes brings to label management.
