Elamental Music Group

Where sound
becomes legacy.

Music publishing, catalog management, and consulting for artists, songwriters, and producers who have earned their due.

Who We Are

A music publishing and consulting house built by people who have spent decades
inside the industry — understanding it, shaping it, and protecting the artists who power it.

Elamental Music Group is built on the belief that great music deserves great stewardship. We work with artists, songwriters, and producers at every stage — from catalog acquisition and royalty administration to sync placement and strategic consulting — with the kind of personalized attention most companies reserve for their largest clients.

Our team brings together decades of experience in music publishing, entertainment law, and artist development. We know the industry from the inside, which means we know exactly where value is being left on the table — and how to recover it.

What We Do

Music publishing, catalog management,
and consulting — done right.

Music Publishing

We acquire and administer music publishing rights — working to ensure that every performance, sync, mechanical, and digital royalty reaches the artists and songwriters who earned it. Our administration covers the full range of publishing income streams across domestic and international territories.

Catalog Management

Your catalog is an asset — and like any asset, it requires active stewardship to reach its full value. We evaluate, organize, and develop publishing catalogs with a long view, identifying placement opportunities, licensing potential, and areas where income has gone unclaimed or underperformed.

Music Consulting

Strategic guidance for artists, songwriters, producers, and industry professionals navigating publishing deals, label agreements, licensing opportunities, and sync placements. We advise from a position of experience — having sat at both sides of the table across every kind of deal in the industry.

A Specialty Practice

Recovering what veteran artists are owed.

For artists who built careers over decades, the music industry's complexity has often meant that significant royalties went uncollected, catalogs were mismanaged, and rights were signed away under terms that no longer served them. We specialize in reversing that.

Our royalty recovery practice is built specifically for veteran artists — those with deep catalogs, long histories, and legitimate claims to income that has gone uncaptured. We know where the money is. We know how to get it back.

What Royalty Recovery Looks Like

  • Comprehensive royalty audit across all income streams — performance, mechanical, digital, sync, and neighboring rights
  • Identification of uncollected and underreported royalties from domestic and international sources
  • Review of existing agreements for misaligned or outdated terms that may be renegotiated
  • Registration corrections with PROs, mechanical societies, and digital distributors
  • Retroactive claims for missed income across publishing, master, and neighboring rights
  • Ongoing administration to ensure no future income goes uncaptured
