FAQ
Questions, answered.
Straight answers on how we work, rights, royalties and getting your music properly set up. Still stuck? Get in touch.
General
Who do you represent?
A hand‑picked roster of independent artists, specialising in South Asian music. We also take on bespoke composition commissions, separately from the roster.
Do you only represent South Asian artists?
South Asian music is our specialism and where our network runs deepest, but our roster isn't exclusive to it — we represent any artist who shares our values and fits our sound.
Do you take my rights?
Not on roster representation — you keep your masters, your publishing and your back‑end royalties. Bespoke commissions are different: some client briefs require assigning rights in the new work, which we'll always agree with you up front before anything starts.
Is it exclusive?
No. Our deals are non‑exclusive, so you're always free to work with others and pitch your own music alongside us.
Can you guarantee placements?
No honest agent can. We promise to pitch you thoughtfully and keep you informed every step of the way.
How do I submit music?
Email rohan@confluencesongs.com with your music and split details, and we'll take it from there.
Are your tracks one‑stop?
Yes, for most of our catalogue. We control both the master and the sync‑use licence directly, so we can sign off fast without chasing approval from anyone else.
For artists
I've released music on streaming platforms. Am I getting all my royalties?
Probably not all of them. Your distributor pays master royalties, but the song side (performance and mechanical royalties) needs separate registration with the society relevant to your country, and ideally an admin partner for royalties earned abroad.
What's the difference between master and publishing royalties?
Master royalties come from the recording; publishing royalties come from the song itself. If you wrote and recorded it, you're owed both.
Do I need a publisher?
Not necessarily. Many independent artists use a publishing administrator instead, who registers and collects for a fee while you keep full ownership of your songs.
Will you take my publishing?
Not through representation: our sync representation is non‑exclusive and you keep all your rights and royalties. Separately, if you'd like help, we can administer your publishing worldwide. You keep 100% ownership, and our fee is taken only from the publishing income we actually collect.
Can you help me register with a society?
Yes. We can help you join the society relevant to your country as a writer, and administer your publishing worldwide if you choose to.
What does it cost to work with you?
Representation is 20% commission on licences we secure; you keep 80%. Publishing setup is priced separately, and a health check is always free.
How do I get paid for a sync?
You're paid your share of the fee within 30 business days of us receiving it. If the production is broadcast, you'll also earn performance royalties through your society.
Bespoke composition
How does a bespoke commission work?
Tell us the brief, timeline and budget. We'll match you with a composer from our network and manage it from there.
Can your composers write to picture?
Yes — original scores, themes and sound design, written to a locked or temp cut.
Is bespoke work limited to South Asian music?
No. Our roster specialises in South Asian talent, but bespoke composition isn't limited by genre or region — any brief, any sound.
Do composers keep their rights on a commission?
It depends on the brief. Some commissions are licensed, so the composer keeps ownership; others require assigning rights in the work to the client, and we'll always flag and agree that with you before you start. Either way, composers typically keep their writer's share of performance royalties.
For music supervisors & producers
Is your music one‑stop?
Yes. We mostly do deals with artists where we already control both the sync licence and the master‑use licence, so there's no one else to chase for sign‑off and signing moves fast.
Can you provide instrumentals and stems?
Yes, on request.
How fast can you clear a track?
Usually within a few business days. Tell us your deadline and we'll confirm.
For labels, managers & distributors
Can we submit our catalogue?
Yes. Our deals are non‑exclusive, so representation adds to what you already do rather than replacing it.
Do you need exclusivity?
No.
Do you help with registrations?
Yes, through our publishing setup service and catalogue clean‑up work.
Split sheets
What is a split sheet?
A simple signed document listing everyone who wrote a song and their percentage share. Agree it before release, not after: without one, registrations stall and sync deals can fall through.
- Song title and date agreed
- Every writer's full legal name and contact details
- Each writer's percentage share, totalling 100%
- Each writer's PRO/society (PRS, IPRS, ASCAP, BMI) and IPI number, if known
- Each writer's signature

Submit your music
Got something that fits? We want to hear it.
Our ears are always open. If you're an artist, composer, producer, publisher or catalogue owner with music built for film, TV, advertising, games or digital, here's what we need to take a proper look.
- Send it to rohan@confluencesongs.com and put “Submission” in the subject line.
- The rights need to be yours to submit, either as the owner or with clear authority from whoever is.
- Links over attachments, please — one playlist covering your catalogue tells us more than a folder of files.
- A quick word on who you are: your project, label or catalogue, and anywhere else we can find you online.
- Flag it if another agency, publisher or licensor already has a hand in representing the music.
- Be clear about what you're after — artist, composer, publisher, label or catalogue representation.
- Genre and style are open; production quality and commercial readiness aren't.
- Clear your samples before they land in our inbox.
How we work
Non‑exclusive, always.
You keep your rights, your masters and your publishing throughout — and you're free to pitch the same music elsewhere at the same time. Full terms are on our FAQ.
We go through everything that lands in the inbox, though the volume means we can't always reply individually. If it's a fit, you'll hear from us.
