Built for a Lasting Sound
Label and publishing for artists who already have the music — and want to protect it, release it, and get it heard the right way.
Riverstone Soundworks™ Label
Independent releases for finished recordings — handled with care and built to last.

Riverstone Publishing
Protecting songs built to last.
Riverstone Publishing handles the songwriting and composition side of your work — registering songs, managing splits, and ensuring royalties flow where they should.

You keep full ownership of your songs; we handle the paperwork and persistence.

Artist-Centered Approach
Riverstone Publishing is built for independent writers and artists who want to retain ownership while having their songs properly managed.
You keep your rights — Riverstone simply makes sure the administrative side runs cleanly, fairly, and on time.
Do You Need Publishing Right Now?
If you’re playing your songs live at local venues or just starting to release music, you probably don’t need publishing administration yet.
Those small performances are already covered under the venue’s blanket license, and the royalties are usually negligible.
When your music reaches wider audiences — streaming, radio, sync use, or consistent live shows — that’s when publishing becomes worth setting up.
Riverstone steps in at that point to make sure your work is properly registered and paid.
Local shows? Keep it simple. Growing catalog? Let’s get it registered right.
Ownership & Transparency
Riverstone Publishing never claims creative control or co-ownership — only stewardship.
Our goal is to keep independent music protected, credited, and earning fairly for the people who made it.
