Adding songwriters you represent

If you manage, publish or otherwise represent songwriters, you can add them to your account. Click your name at the top of the sidebar, choose Add a songwriter, then A songwriter I represent, and follow three short steps. Each writer keeps their own legal name, PRO and IPI, and we register their songs under their name. Their royalties are paid into your account.

This is for other people. For your own aliases, see Adding other names you release under.

Steps

1. Click your name at the top of the sidebar and choose Add a songwriter. Once your account has more than one songwriter, Roster also appears in the sidebar with its own Add a songwriter button.
2. Choose A songwriter I represent. A company account skips this question and goes straight to the details.
3. Details: enter their Legal name as it appears at their PRO, their PRO, and their IPI number (9 to 11 digits). If they haven't joined a PRO, choose Not yet registered and leave the IPI empty. Date of birth is optional. Some societies ask for it when a writer's name is common.
4. Spotify: search for the artist page their songs are released under and pick it. If they have none, choose They don't have a Spotify page.
5. Sign: read what you're confirming, type your own full legal name as it appears on your profile, and tick the box.
6. Click Sign and add.

What you confirm

You confirm that you represent this songwriter and have their authority to manage their publishing, register their songs and collect their royalties. You confirm their publishing isn't already with another publisher, administrator or label. You accept the Terms of Service for them as their authorized representative. And you agree that paying the songwriter what they're owed is your responsibility. The full wording is on screen before you sign.

After you add them

The songwriter appears on your Roster marked Under review.

• With a Spotify page, we check the page, then find their songs and start registering them.
• Without one, you add their songs yourself from Add a Song once we approve them. The form asks which songwriter each song is for, and the song is registered under their name.

There's nothing else for you to do while they're under review.

Managing your roster

The Roster page lists every songwriter on your account with their songs, registered songs and lifetime earnings. Click one to see their page and their Writer details. You can edit their legal name, PRO and IPI there until works have been filed under those details. After that, the societies hold them, so write to info@davincii.co to change them.

Limits

• You can add up to 50 songwriters you represent. To add more, write to info@davincii.co.
• A songwriter whose IPI already has a Davincii account, or whose Spotify page is connected to another account, can't be added. If you represent them, write to info@davincii.co and we'll connect it.
• If your account is a company, songs are never filed under the company. You add songs only for approved songwriters on your roster.
