For songwriters
Your song with an owner, a registration and a contract.
You have heard enough promises of fame. Yawh offers something else: legal identity for your song, a split settled before the fight and a contract before the recording.
What you fear, and what we do about it
These are the six fears every songwriter has, and what the platform does about each one.
- 01
"What if someone steals my song?"
Every song gets a timestamp and a hash the moment it is uploaded, with a receipt. Public audio only streams, never downloads, and carries a watermark that identifies who listened.
- 02
"What if I lose control?"
You set term, territory, media and exclusivity once, and override them per song whenever you want. No contract goes outside those rules.
- 03
"What if it gets stuck in a drawer?"
The reversion clause gives the song back to you if the buyer does not record it in time. No arguing, no lawyer, automatic.
- 04
"What if we fight over the percentage?"
The split is declared and signed by every co-writer before the song is published. Once it is a hit, it is too late to agree.
- 05
"What if nobody listens?"
You see who listened, when and for how long. A label that played it three times is information, not hope.
- 06
"What if they don’t get my phone recording?"
Yawh Studio produces a guide track, a professional demo or a finished master on demand. A good song sung badly does not sell.
How to get started
From sign-up to your first published song.
- 01
Sign up
CPF or CNPJ, stage name and Pix key. Five minutes, on your phone.
- 02
Your song
Lyrics as text and a guide recording. The platform suggests key, tempo and theme; you confirm.
- 03
Your split
List your co-writers. Each one signs through a link, without creating a full account.
- 04
Your rules
Price, term, exclusivity and what can or cannot be changed in your lyrics.
What the publisher does for you
Yawh is a publisher, not a showcase. Here is where the difference shows.
- 01
Administers songs that already have an ISWC
If the song is already registered, the ISWC stays the same. Yawh checks the registration, tracks collections and reports back, as a contracted service.
- 02
Registers the song and obtains the ISWC
Registration with the collective management society, with the correct metadata. Without an ISWC, Ecad cannot pay you.
- 03
Collects and reports
Statements per song and per accounting period, showing gross amount received, share deducted and net. Line by line.
- 04
Publishing agreement, never assignment
You remain the rights holder. The publisher has an ongoing percentage share, so it only earns if your song earns.
Registration, a signed split and a contract. Fame is not part of the package.
