OUR STORY

NOT YOUR USUAL ROYALTY
OR ACCOUNTING BUSINESS.

ABOUT US

As The Music Royalty Co., we’re here to give you the royal treatment.

We’re not royalty (though the queen has granted us permission to use the word), but we do deliver excellent backend services to record labels, distributors, and music publishers. And with decades of music industry experience, we offer world-class royalty processing as well as accountancy and management advice.

It’s easy to get lost in this crazy industry’s numbers and noise. That is why we exist: to help you make sense of your data and turn it into profits, solutions, and sound decisions.

OUR MISSION

ALLOW CREATIVE PEOPLE TO BE MORE CREATIVE
AND FOCUS LESS TIME ON PESKY FINANCIAL MATTERS.

HOW WE
GOT STARTED

Navigating the labyrinth of multiple streams with royalties and accounting in the music industry can be difficult, but it is critical.

Hence why we established The Music Royalty Co. in 2015. Ray Bush, our founder and CEO, saw a need and vowed to fill it by simplifying royalty processing and administration. Ray has over 20 years of experience and has worked with companies such as Cooking Vinyl and Fat Cat Records, to name a few. In fact, he’s a man who knows his onions in this industry.

Among our clients today are music labels, publishing companies, and distributors, all within the music industry, including Believe, Scruff of the Neck, and Back Lot Music. Using our knowledge and expertise, we minimise the pesky jobs in your business so you can maximise your time on other projects.

WE’VE BEEN IN THE BUSINESS FOR A
LONG TIME, BUT WE’RE NOT OLD.

WE’RE ACTUALLY PRETTY
YOUNG AT HEART.

OUR VALUES

Our bread and butter is the music industry, and our services will help you achieve your goals no matter what size business you run.

OUR MISSION, WHO WE ARE, WHAT WE BELIEVE, AND WHAT YOU SHOULD KNOW ABOUT US:

COLLABORATION

It’s a simple philosophy, but it works time and time again. And that’s because we’re always putting our collective expertise at the forefront of everything we do.

SIMPLICITY

We like things simple — that means providing clear statistics and advice based on data and experience and the best option for you and your business.

GROWTH

Sure, we have a lot of experience under our belts, but we’re also invested in employees’ present and future success.

RELIABLE

It’s not just the talk, it’s the walk – we’re dependable, we’re experienced, and we’re just as excited as you are.

HUMAN

Every client is a partner to us. Our team will sit down with you, listen to what you need, and customise our services to fit your needs.

WE’RE COLLABORATORS, WE’RE HUMANS, AND WE’RE RELIABLE.

Don’t just take our word for it — look at what our clients have to say about us.

TESTIMONIALS

Cooking Vinyl Australia has been on board with MRC since its inception and we’ve found Ray and his team to be professional, knowledgeable, and expeditious. We operate under a broad scope of different deal types so our royalties accounting can be quite complex. MRC understand our business which is critical when it comes to accounting for our artists. We could not recommend them highly enough.

MRC offer a reliable and professional service. They understand the business and are a great company to work with.

Mike Chadwick, Red Essential

MRC are great: no job is too big, they’re easy to deal with and love efficiency. Ray is always at the end of the phone any time of day or night. The Other Hand is a smoother operation because of MRC.

Ray Bush and his team are a pleasure to work with and having MRC on our side has enabled Loose to proceed confidently with what we hopefully do best – finding and working with world-class acts.
