Royalty Recovery
You earned it. Someone else is holding it.
Every year, a fortune in music royalties goes unclaimed — earned by artists, then quietly handed to the major labels who have teams to claim them. Paravel Global finds what you're owed and gets it back.
You only pay on what we recover.
Welcome to the black box.
When your song is streamed, played on the radio overseas, or sold, it earns money. But if the paperwork behind it has a single crack — a misspelled name, a missing code, a co-writer who was never registered — the system can't tell who to pay. So the money sits in a holding pool.
Here's the part nobody tells you: after two to three years, it doesn't come back to you. It gets distributed to the biggest rightsholders by market share. You earned it. They collect it.
When the U.S. mechanical licensing collective opened in 2021, it was sitting on more than $400 million in royalties no one had claimed — and that's one organization, in one country, for one kind of royalty. Industry estimates put the global total in the billions.
Where your royalties are leaking right now.
You got your masters back and never re-registered them. When rights revert, the old publisher stops collecting. If no one re-files the works, everything earned since sits unclaimed.
Your music plays abroad and no one's collecting. Listeners in London, Berlin, Tokyo, or São Paulo generate royalties. Without the right international registrations, you see almost none of it.
Your name is spelled three different ways. Metadata mismatches mean the money can't find you so it goes to the black box.
A co-writer was never registered. One missing collaborator can freeze an entire song's royalties. Nobody gets paid until it's fixed.
Your songs have no global ID. Without the right codes, every international play is unmatchable.
Your distributor only covers half of it. Uploading through a DistroKid or a TuneCore pays your recording royalties. Your publishing royalties, performance, mechanical, international, sit uncollected unless someone registers them. That someone isn't your distributor.
Did you get your masters back?
Then answer one question: did anyone re-register the works afterward?
Most artists don't — there's no team, no reminder, no one whose job it is. And we've seen catalogs where the large majority of reverted works were never properly registered, which means years of earnings simply waiting in a holding account.
If that might be you, the audit will tell you for certain. It's free, and it takes days.
1. Free audit.
We map your entire catalog and show you exactly where money is leaking and why. Days, not months. No cost, no obligation.
You only pay on what we find.
Recovery is contingency-based. We take a share of the royalties we actually recover for you — and nothing if we recover nothing. A small annual fee covers your registrations and ongoing monitoring, and any one-time society fees are passed through at cost, always flagged before we incur them.
No recovered money, no recovery fee. It's that simple.
HOW IT WORKS
2. We fix and file.
Every registration corrected and submitted across the organizations that pay you — at home and across 150+ countries. Names, splits, codes, co-writers, all of it.
Major-label muscle.
The majors collect this money because they have entire departments built to chase it. Now you have one too.
We run your recovery on rights infrastructure built by people who did exactly this inside the major-label system — with one difference: you keep everything you own. And you get a real person who explains every number, not a ticket queue and a form.
3. You get paid and stay paid.
We recover what you're owed, including back-payments where the window's still open, and keep your catalog clean so it never leaks again.
This is for you if…
You've gotten your masters or publishing rights back.
Your music has been played, streamed, or aired internationally.
You've been releasing for years but never see publishing royalties.
You have a real catalog and a real fanbase — but no team chasing your money.
If any of these is you, there's almost certainly money waiting.
Let's find your money.
The audit is free and there's no obligation. In a few days, you'll know exactly what you're owed and what it's worth going after.
