About this listen

Melissa Emert-Hutner lives in New York and is an SVP of Creative at Kobalt Music, one of the largest music publishers in the world. She joins us today to clear the smog-filled air on music publishing and share what she does day to day to help artists and songwriters make lasting connections and collect royalties. She explains how every artist feels their music is syncable but it's rarely the case, and breaks down the variables that should be considered when thinking about signing a publishing deal—whether before or after a record deal. Truly a crash course episode for both curious music minds and the temporarily misguided. Melissa also drops her Top 5 songs of the moment, including new music from Florence and The Machine, Blondshell, Machine Girl, Lamb of God, and Rainbow Kitten Surprise.
