Independent songwriter, recovered ₦18M in unregistered royalties
A songwriter with 180 co writes had never registered works with a PRO, so we built the catalog, filed globally, and unlocked back royalties.
Metadata, publishing, royalties, and catalog administration for artists, songwriters, producers, and labels who take their careers seriously.
Missing metadata, unregistered works, split disputes, publishing left on the table, the music industry runs on paperwork most artists never see. When it breaks, royalties disappear quietly.

A songwriter with 180 co writes had never registered works with a PRO, so we built the catalog, filed globally, and unlocked back royalties.
Metadata inconsistencies were suppressing streams, so after a full cleanup and redelivery, monthly royalties grew 34% within two quarters.
We designed the publishing entity, admin deal, and PRO structure before their debut EP dropped, so every stream now flows to the right place.
Social Lizard Agency started because too many talented creators were losing money and rights to problems no one had bothered to explain to them. We saw indie artists who had never registered a work, songwriters missing entire territories of income, and labels sitting on catalogs full of broken metadata.
We are based in Lagos and work with clients globally. Our team of music business operators, publishing veterans, and metadata specialists does the unglamorous work, the audits, the filings, the split sheets, so you can focus on making the music.
Approachable, educational, precise. That is the promise.
