LICENSING DETAILS: 

Here is some helpful information regarding the licensing of my music:

  • There are two copyrights in every recorded song. There is:

    • a copyright for the recorded music and

    • a copyright for the song composition. 

  • This means that licensing is handled differently for my original music than for cover songs. 

 

ORIGINAL MUSIC

If you're interested in licensing my original music for your project, this is a fairly easy process! Since I am the composer and recording artist, I control both the copyright of the recording and the composition and am able to grant permission to use these songs. 

You shouldn't have any problems with Facebook, YouTube, or any other video streaming platform.  

Please refer to my full TERMS AND CONDITIONS below but please note that I make Christian Music and any use of my music should not conflict with basic Christian values.  I ask that you be kind, ethical, and loving in the content in which you place my music. 

 

COVER SONGS

Licensing cover songs is a different process.  When I make a recording of a song originally published by another group, such as Hillsong or Elevation:

  • I control the copyright of the recorded music that I have personally created.

  • However, the song composition copyright itself still belongs to the original artist.

In order for a song to be included in any type of broadcast or product, the interested party must receive approval from both copyright holders -- both the recording artist (me) and the original songwriter. 

​I am only able to give my permission for the recorded portion of the music but you MUST ensure that you receive permission from the songwriters prior to using the piece of music. At the time of writing the latest update of this information, some platforms such as YouTube already obtains those necessary licenses under their own licensing service.
