Check the licence requirements
Producer credit wording may be specified in the beat licence or agreement. Follow the actual terms rather than guessing what attribution is required.
Copy the producer name and required credit line from the purchase documentation, including spelling and punctuation.
Use consistent metadata
Streaming credits, video descriptions and social posts can display information differently. Keep the producer’s name consistent across each destination.
Prepare one verified credit block and use it in distributor metadata, video descriptions and release notes where appropriate.
Distinguish credit from ownership
Giving credit does not replace a licence or transfer copyright. Make sure the agreement covers the intended release and use.
Retain the receipt and licence even after the producer credit has been added to the release.
Check the live release
Metadata can be shortened, reordered or omitted by platforms. Review the published release and correct errors through the relevant distributor.
Check artist profiles and credits after delivery, then keep a record of any correction request you submit.
