Booked On Rock with Eric Senich

Inside the Business of Music Publishing [Episode 209]


Listen Later

Our guest is veteran music publisher and industry expert Randall Wixen, who has just released the fifth edition of his book The Plain and Simple Guide To Music Publishing.

Music publishing is one of the most complex parts of the music business, and yet it can be the most lucrative area of income for musicians. Wixen presents a clear, concise approach on how music publishing works today. The book includes a foreword by Tom Petty, among the many who put their trust in Wixen with their music catalog. Wixen is one of the most respected names in the music industry. He’s the founder of Wixen Music Publishing, Inc. in Los Angeles. With a sister company, Wixen Music UK Ltd. in London, the companies administer the song catalogs of many top artists from the last 50 years, ranging from George Harrison, the Doors, Neil Young and Tom Petty, to the Black Keys, Andrew Bird and Fitz & The Tantrums.

Randall gives us a behind-the-scenes look at the music publishing business in this interview plus his thoughts on the recent legal battle between Daryl Hall and John Oates, the famous 1984 lawsuit where John Fogerty was being sued for stealing a song he wrote himself, the Vanilla Ice vs Queen legal battle over his use of the song "Under Pressure", and more. This is a fascinating look at the side of the music business few know.
