Why Social Lizard Agency exists

Most creators lose money to invisible problems.

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.

We built Social Lizard Agency to make the business layer of music understandable, auditable, and yours. No jargon, no gatekeeping, just the infrastructure you need to actually own your career.

Publishing clarity
Royalty transparency

Case studies

Real outcomes for real catalogs.

₦18M
Recovered in 90 days

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.

200
Tracks redelivered

Indie label, 200 track catalog cleaned and rebuilt

Metadata inconsistencies were suppressing streams, so after a full cleanup and redelivery, monthly royalties grew 34% within two quarters.

5
Territories collecting

Producer artist, publishing structured from day one

We designed the publishing entity, admin deal, and PRO structure before their debut EP dropped, so every stream now flows to the right place.

About

We help creators understand the business behind the music.

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.
