Producers' Rights & Royalties
Producers earn through producer points (typically 3-5% of artist royalties), upfront fees, and a small portion of SoundExchange digital performance royalties via Letter of Direction (LOD). Producers may also earn songwriter splits when they contribute to composition.
SoundExchange producer share: post-Sept 2020, producers can register directly via SoundExchange's Producer Direct program.
Producer letter of direction (LOD) authorizes the label to pay royalties directly to the producer.
Producers & Engineers Wing (Recording Academy) advocates for producer rights.
