Commercial music rights can be complicated. We make our part of the process as straightforward as possible — clear answers, flexible licensing, and direct access to a truly exceptional catalogue.
Licensing starts with a short conversation. The more you can tell us up front, the faster we can identify the right recording and the right licence for your project.
The song, artist, era or style — or let us help you find it via the catalogue search.
A TV programme, advert, app, karaoke product, game or another commercial project.
Broadcast, streaming, in-app, physical product, live venue or elsewhere.
Local, national, or worldwide distribution.
A single campaign, an ongoing product, or a fixed licence term.
Because Quadalpha controls the master rights in its recordings, licensing our catalogue is a direct, single-source process rather than a negotiation with an original artist's label.
Licensing a cover version, instrumental or karaoke recording from Quadalpha is typically far more affordable than licensing an original artist's master recording, without compromising on quality.
Pricing generally depends on the specifics of your licence, including media, territory, duration and intended use. Contact us now to discuss your project and we'll put together a quote.
When you license a Quadalpha recording, you're licensing the master — the specific recording itself, which we control directly. The song underneath it — its lyrics and melody, known as the composition — is a separate right, usually owned by a music publisher and administered through organisations such as PRS in the UK.
The master recording — the specific cover, instrumental or karaoke version in our catalogue. We control this directly, so it's a single, straightforward licence.
Clearance for the underlying composition, typically via PRS or the credited publisher. Whether this applies — and how — depends on your use, platform and territory, so it's worth checking as part of your planning.
Where we hold writer, publisher or PRS tune code details for a recording, we're happy to share them to help point you in the right direction.
Tell us what recording you want to use and we'll explain the licensing options clearly.
