music publisher
Rights-holding song company
A music publisher is a company that manages the business side of songs and compositions—securing copyrights, licensing music for use in recordings, films, and commercials, and collecting royalties on behalf of songwriters and composers.
Publishers take a percentage in exchange for promoting and administering the catalog: She signed with a music publisher after her first hit.
