Metadata Matters
In partnership with GSC President, Sheree Spoltore, Jones created an insightful and eye-opening presentation on the importance of metadata in the music business, and why it is important for songwriters, producers, and artists. The presentation, “Metadata Matters” was first shared at GSC FOCUS events. Through GSC, Jones is now offering 1-hour mentoring sessions where songwriters, artists and producers can gain more insight into (including, but not limited to):
- Understanding the different organizations responsible for paying your royalties
- When and How to Register Songs
- What song information is important to collect on each song, and when
- Commonly used acronyms, and what they mean to the songwriter (ISRC, ISWC, etc.)
- How one can ensure past songs are appropriately registered
- How to be in the best position to collect all royalties owed to you
- How songwriters can own rights to Master recordings
- How songwriters who don’t sing can still release music, and get paid
Jones is also available to produce your next song, demos, or Master Recordings (currently remote only. If desiring to record in-person, must contact first). Jones specializes in pop, Christian, and R&B genres.
