“Musicians need to know it is possible to get their music to fans without giving up ownership. Alex and his team have developed an innovative solution that empowers artists to have more control in their careers by providing customized funding solutions without sacrificing their copyrights. I believe that long-term success is as much about the business as it is about the music, so partnering with Sound Royalties in their mission is a natural."

Steve Dorff

Songwriter

"Like many artists, I’ve had several shows postponed or cancelled. Sound Royalties is acting on good faith to help artists replenish that lost income. This is a really fair, no-risk program for working artists – a dollar-for-dollar, no-cost, no-fee deal."

Wyclef Jean

Artist, Songwriter, Producer

“The demand for music from Africa and other developing regions is growing, and these professional creatives deserve to be a part of the international music marketplace. There is a need for them to have open access to global publishing and distribution options that protect their rights and ensure they’re fairly paid. This initiative with Sound Royalties not only introduces and launches new talent, but helps creatives around the world thrive in their careers.”

Earl Bud Lee

"Friends In Low Places" Songwriter

"The Covid shut down was the beginning of a huge shift in musician’s income. My songwriter income was primarily coming from airplay and record sales. But when all of this happened, Sound Royalties really stepped up. Not only did they offer me multiple funding options, but they included an option that had no fees or additional cost. In a time like this, their services have been so valuable and so very appreciated."

Sonia Leigh

Singer, Songwriter

"Sound Royalties offers an option for songwriters to get funding from their previous and future successes without selling the farm. In the music business, sometimes it’s hard to get the ball rolling, especially for independent artists and writers."

DJ Khaled

Producer, Songwriter, Record Executive

“I kept meeting people doing business with Sound Royalties, and then bumping into Alex backstage and on the red carpet. It was a vibe - I knew we were meant to work together. As a business mogul, I’m going to continue to release and own the world’s biggest music and Sound Royalties makes that easier. These are my guys.”

Priscilla Renea

Singer, Songwriter, Artist

"Sound Royalties really gave me the freedom to pursue things that I wanted to pursue, because I wanted to pursue them, not because I had to. It gave me space to go and make my record and feel OK with taking a break from writing for other people. This was the perfect move for me. Forging this relationship with Sound Royalties has enabled me to have breathing room, and to really think about my career from an ownership position rather than as an employee. If more people knew that something like this was possible, they would make better decisions and it would raise the bar for the industry as a whole."

Rich Robinson

Songwriter, Guitarist

“Retaining the rights to my music is extremely important and Sound Royalties was very helpful in creating a deal that did just that.”

Lil Wayne

Rapper, Singer, Songwriter

"Nothing is going to hold back my creativity this year. I am very excited to be teaming up with Sound Royalties to help bring my plans for 2018 to life. Sound Royalties understands the music world and is helping me utilize my past successes to fund and propel new projects and continue creatively evolving."

Sheree Brown

Performer, Songwriter

“I’ve been working with Sound Royalties for years and the process is always easy. My number one goal is to always keep my IP and my catalog – I want to always avoid selling any part of it, because I want my kids to be able to enjoy that. And with Sound Royalties, I am able to retain my ownership.”

Jay Condiotti

Composer, Producer

“Sound Royalties’ response to the music community during Covid-19 has been very helpful. A no-cost advance during this pandemic is just like - wow. My PPP loan wasn’t much, and you don’t want to dig into retirement, so this free advance just gives a little bit of cushion. It takes the load off.”

Danny Myrick

Singer, Songwriter, Musician

"With Sound Royalties, the personalized approach and the trust factor really sold me. They genuinely wanted to help, especially with my finances. Songwriters are not always the best business people in the world, but Sound Royalties helped me settle my outstanding debts, while also allowing me to invest in equipment for future projects. Working with Sound Royalties has been awesome; from the first conversation through the entire deal, everything was great."

Ronald “Ronkat” Spearman

Singer, Songwriter

“I came across Sound Royalties after searching for a COVID-19 relief program. I was attracted to the company after reading through the website, so I went forward with the application. The way the program is set up really accommodates artists to be able to fund their projects. It’s such a blessing to have a company that understands artists, because it’s easy to get involved with certain things that aren’t as conducive for your career. Finding Sound Royalties was amazing for me. I felt very comfortable going through the process with my Royalty Specialist Mecca, with a few kind words exchanged with Evan as well. This is going to allow me to float like the mothership and refuel projects that have been on the backburner. Many thanks.”

Amanda Perez

Singer, Songwriter

"At the heart of every artist is creativity, but a lot of musicians don’t think of their music as a business. Taking care of the business side of my music career has really enabled my success, and it’s why I chose to work with Sound Royalties to fund my projects. "

Curtis Williams

Performer, Songwriter

“I found Sound Royalties through a mutual trusted friend of the company. Working with their team has been seamless, straightforward and direct. As a songwriter/ musician, your work is your lifeblood and you don’t want to be in a vulnerable situation – not giving up ownership is so huge. With SR, I felt so comfortable – it was the right timing and the whole team has been welcoming and receptive to my goals. I was presented with clear options after a quick and easy royalty analysis, and received my funds shortly after that. With Sound Royalties, I have a little mantra: my pandemic peace of mind.”

Michael Bloom

CEO & Principal Partner, Solaris Entertainment

“Bottom line is, we were in need of gaining new capital. We recently attained our biggest client ever and needed to upgrade our production company with new computers; that wouldn’t have happened as quickly without the help of Sound Royalties. We’re extremely grateful for this service and I would recommend it to anyone who can take passive income and apply it to an advance. You’re receiving money based on a proven track-record of royalties, making it a clean and easy transaction for everyone because in the end, you know the royalties are there and will continue to be there.

Sound Royalties especially makes sense for creatives who have bad credit but great royalty revenue; that’s what really dazzled me because my identity was stolen and my credit score dropped as a result. Sound Royalties couldn’t care less because of our royalty history which was outstanding. Without this advance, we would’ve had to wait for the 11th hour to receive our royalty checks, but we needed new production equipment ASAP. If a need arises again, I will not hesitate to give Sound Royalties a call.”

Makeba Riddick

Singer, Songwriter

"Sound Royalties can dig deep and find money that you didn’t know you have waiting – that is golden for an established, creative person! In 3-4 weeks, I was already collecting on monies owed to me that had just been sitting out there… If you are a creative person and there’s even a small possibility that you have money unclaimed sitting somewhere, this is the company for you."

Roberto Mesa

Rapper, Songwriter

"When I chose to be independent, I also decided I was only going to do things first class, whether it was a studio recording or a music video. And that takes capital. Knowing there was no risk of losing any copyrights made working with Sound Royalties a no-brainer."

Smvvth

Rapper, Songwriter

“A friend put me on to Sound Royalties. After gaining knowledge on their process of how they understand independent artists and don’t take copyrights, for me, it was an automatic go! After speaking with Tatiana, she made things nice and smooth for me. I highly recommend Sound Royalties to every artist globally.”

Leroy LSR Romans

Producer, Musician, Artist, Engineer

"It's been an amazing journey with Sound Royalties. The fact that they exist is a lifesaver for me and for a lot of music professionals small and large alike filling the void. I really appreciate Alex finding this amazing business model that supports artists, musicians and writers, especially without taking their rights away, which is amazing. When the pandemic hit, Alex DMed me on Instagram to let me know the opportunity to get support was there, and sure enough, SR was there to help keep things going. I'm truly appreciative. Thank you Sound Royalties."

Malik Yusef

Producer, Songwriter, Poet, Rapper

"Sound Royalties’ track record is impeccable, and their personal service is unmatched. If people are thinking of making a play, this is the top-tier company to deal with. Sometimes banks don’t understand the music field and what we do, but Sound Royalties is in that business and understands it. I’m looking forward to making more moves with the company to stimulate the other areas of my business and create more opportunities for my fellow artists."

Daraja Hakizimana

Producer, Songwriter, Musician

“Sound Royalties genuinely supports my music and creativity. They are always available and ready to help fund me as an artist. Working with Sound Royalties is proof that even without being on a major record label, you can have and fund a successful career as an independent artist.”

Brenda K Starr

Singer, Songwriter

"I knew right after speaking to Sound Royalties that they were the company that I could trust. Sound Royalties supported me and helped me with my journey. They believed in me and allowed me to keep creative control. The company is simply Heaven-sent."

Darius Barnes

Producer

"I’ve been in music for so long, and I got tired of going through the typical hassles with financing. But my experience with Sound Royalties has been delightful. They made the process simple and easy–no gimmicks, no strings, and no puppet master. My latest advance helped me to jumpstart my own record label and move from Los Angeles to Atlanta to expand my business. Now I’m excited that not only do I get to continue working with A-list artists, but I can start putting out projects for new artists on my own label."

D Lynch

Rapper, Producer

"I was a bit skeptical at first because after being in the music industry for so long, I’ve seen a lot of different deals and heard a lot of promises. But until Sound Royalties, I don’t think I’ve ever seen a business where transactions are mutually beneficial for both the artist and the company. Working with them gave me the freedom to be creative and it really stood out to me that whatever advancement you get, you can buy it off early. Sound Royalties is so clearly for the artists, and that is a really, really cool thing."

Jay King

Performing Artist, Producer

"Sound Royalties is a true partner that’s really looking out for your best interests in the long run. It’s often hard to have enough money to produce your next record, to market and promote, but Sound Royalties put extra dollars in my pocket immediately. They’ll even return royalty overflow to me, where most companies keep all that money. If you want a company that’s going to work with you, that you can take at their word, that will make sure you can survive based on your royalty stream, that’s Sound Royalties. I’m very glad that a company like this exists."

Eliel Lind

Producer

“I have worked with many companies over the years, but never had a relationship like I do with Sound Royalties – I am completely satisfied with them and their work. Thanks to the financial assistance I received, I can focus on my future projects with no worries. I can move forward with my career and take it where I want it to go. Sound Royalties has allowed me the opportunity to work full-force, to continue to grow, and to win more awards and more GRAMMYs.”

Jay E

Producer

"My experience with Sound Royalties was amazing. They came through with everything we discussed, exactly how we discussed it. The process was quick and clear cut. If you’re an artist that’s looking for capital, this is the way to do it. The fact that they will never take ownership of your copyrights, even in default, made my decision to work with them that much easier."

Kevin Lyttle

Recording Artist

“If you believe in a project, Sound Royalties really gives you more peace of mind knowing you still have your ‘cushion’ and you can use some of your future money toward making things bigger. It also gives you more time to promote because you spend less time worrying about where the money is coming from… We made this move with Sound Royalties and great things started happening and are continuing to happen, so we’re pretty grateful.”

Bunny DeBarge

Performer, Songwriter

"I really love Sound Royalties and their business model, in that they don’t ever take copyrights. Instead, they find creative ways for musicians to fund their projects AND keep ownership. This is especially important for creatives who have worked their entire careers building their catalogs. I highly recommend this wonderful team!"

The Mad Stuntman

Performing Artist

"I was going through a stressful time as I was finishing up the album. I owed some money over the years. And when I first heard about Sound Royalties, I didn’t believe that it existed. A friend introduced me to Alex Heiche (CEO & Founder) and he explained to me what was going on. Alex is like magic! I will tell everyone that if they’re looking for royalty financing to go to Sound Royalties."

Fragancia

Performing Artist

"When I first heard about Sound Royalties, I thought it was too good to be true. Once other artists realize what Sound Royalties is doing, this company is going to be a part of the history of music business. Everyone at Sound Royalties is cool, everyone loves you. I’m happy with everyone here."

Ben Tankard

Musician, Producer

"I am super excited about my relationship with Sound Royalties. They embrace you like family. Everyone is genuinely concerned with your thoughts and your dreams. I am super thankful for Sound Royalties and I look forward to this being a long relationship into the future."

Mono/Poly

Producer, Songwriter

“I had upcoming shows that were all cancelled because of COVID-19 and that was a hard blow. I was searching for music grants and found Sound Royalties. I was honestly feeling pretty down at that time but Yanet called after I inquired about the funding options online. Her phone call came at the perfect time and I made the decision to go through the process immediately. It was great. Yanet made sure I understood every step of the process; it was easy, smooth, and cool. Our conversations didn’t feel disconnected; it felt like she really cared.”

Anastas Hackett

Producer

“The COVID pandemic has silenced my most loyal customers, and so many of my colleagues have also felt the financial strain. In this industry, many artists stand to face a challenging road ahead if their music does not return to a surplus quickly. I can say that my loyalty to Sound Royalties is no different than any of my lifelong friends who have been with me through thick and thin. Anyone who causes my house to increase becomes family. Thank you so much.”

Juan Manuel Gonzalez

Music Publisher, Producer, Songwriter

“Funding from Sound Royalties has given me everything I need to finish and launch projects that were being worked on pre-COVID. This has really been a blessing in disguise. I love what the company stands for and the fact that they don’t take copyrights, is phenomenal. It’s extremely important to know that there’s a company that can help you fund projects without taking your work. I don’t think Sound Royalties knows the depth of the help they’re giving the music industry. I will definitely push for more people to know the company and what it stands for.”
