Collect every royaltyyou're owed.

You pay nothing upfront. There is no signup fee, no subscription and no minimum to join. Plenty of publishing admins charge $75–$100 simply to open your account; Davincii doesn't. We keep 15% of performance royalties and 20% of mechanicals, and only when we collect that money for you. No collection means no charge. Our Terms contain the complete fee schedule.

Yes, permanently. We administer the rights without ever owning them. You continue to hold 100% of your compositions.

No. Most independent songwriters leave this gap unfilled. DistroKid, TuneCore, and CD Baby distribute earnings from your recordings. The underlying compositions, the songs themselves, generate different royalties through collection societies around the world, which distributors leave untouched. Davincii collects those funds.

Yes. Your label agreement applies to recordings, while publishing applies to the songs beneath them; the two contracts are separate. Davincii takes no stake in master recording income from past or future releases. An existing publishing deal is the actual conflict: don't submit a song committed to another publisher or administrator while their term remains active, because both parties would register the same society share. This applies per song, not across the board, so you're free to register the rest of your catalog.

Yes, and keep that membership as your foundation. A PRO pays the writer's share of performance royalties, which covers one stream in one capacity. Davincii works on the publisher side by registering every song with societies around the world, then collecting mechanical, digital, and international royalties that PRO membership by itself can't reach.

We collect your performance royalties domestically and internationally, your mechanical royalties at the source, and sync fees when someone licenses your music. The world's 225+ collection societies use reciprocal agreements to extend performance coverage across 240+ countries and territories.

In many cases, yes, and how far back depends entirely on which royalty it is. Mechanicals are the generous side. Once a work is registered and matched, US mechanical royalties are paid retroactively for matched usage back to January 2021, and a separate pool of older unmatched money from streams going back to the beginnings of streaming in 2007 is still held, with no published deadline for claiming it. Performance royalties close much faster. The US performance societies reach back up to about two years for plays from before a song was registered, and once those windows pass that money is gone. Nothing about that is unusual, but it is the reason we file the moment your catalog is ready rather than waiting. Davincii Radar estimates what is still sitting there for your catalog.

Every month. We credit your balance each month, and you withdraw whenever you want through the dashboard once the balance passes $25, by bank transfer or PayPal. Two things shape the timing. Mechanical royalties are reported and paid to us monthly, running roughly two to three months behind the month your music was played, so those land every month. Performance royalties reach us four times a year and run six to nine months behind the quarter the performance happened in. We add them to your balance together with your next monthly payment, which can fall in a later month, so they show on that month's statement. Your first payment is the slow one. Each month's US mechanical royalties are paid out about 75 days after that month ends, so roughly two and a half to three months pass before the first mechanical money reaches us at all. That first run also carries whatever back royalties your catalog is owed, which is why it is usually much larger than the months that follow it. After that it settles into a monthly rhythm. How far back we can reach varies by organisation, and the performance side closes much faster than the mechanical side, which is why we file the moment your catalog is ready.

Give us 30 days' written notice. There is no minimum term and no penalty. Email info@davincii.co from your account email, and we'll acknowledge it. If you ask in writing, we send you a signed letter of relinquishment with a list of your songs within 30 days, and your next publisher or administrator uses it to claim the songs in its own name. For 12 months after the agreement ends, we keep collecting royalties you earned during it. Within 60 days after that window closes, you'll get a final statement and everything you're owed.
