Licensing in Music

How do you license your music as an independent artist? How do you register songs with the Mechanical Licensing Collective (MLC) and how do you gain access to others’ music for your creative work? What are some key elements of having license-ready music?

Join Lawyers for the Creative Arts and entertainment attorney Odell Mitchell III for an engaging session on music licensing and the basics of the MLC. We’ll cover licensing your music and the music of others, royalties, basic terminology of licensing, and how revenue flows. The seminar will include a question and answer session.
