When an artist passes, the music keeps playing, but the family is often left outside the room where it earns. Recordings sit on platforms under the wrong name, claims go to strangers, and nobody sends the family a statement. This page sets out a service built for heirs: documenting the rights, collecting worldwide, and reporting in the family's language.
What this service is for
The heirs of a late artist hold rights that are real but rarely written down in one place. Our work starts there. We help the family document what it owns, put that documentation into a form a platform accepts, and collect on the family's behalf under a written agreement.
There is no upload fee, no subscription, no per-release fee; the revenue share is set out in your written agreement.
- Documenting the rights: who recorded what, under which agreement, and who inherited which share
- A release certificate for every recording we deliver, listing the chain of rights and verifiable by key
- Worldwide collection across streaming, neighbouring rights and YouTube claims, under one agreement
- Monthly reports in the family's language, with a per-recording breakdown
- A single family contact who knows the catalogue and answers by email
Where the money is and how we reach it
A late artist's recordings earn in more places than most families expect. Streaming is only the visible part.
Each report says where a line of income came from and which recording earned it. Where a store or a society reports late, the report says so rather than hiding the gap.
- Streaming and download stores, delivered under the artist's correct Arabic and Latin names so that profiles are not split
- Neighbouring rights for performers and producers, registered with the societies that pay them where the family qualifies
- YouTube claims on uploads that use the recordings, with the family deciding whether each claim is monetised, kept or released
- Cover versions and samples that use the family's recordings, flagged for the family's decision rather than acted on silently
Respect rules
A family's catalogue is not raw material. Some uses need the family's written yes, and some are off by default.
- No remix, re-edit, mashup or sample without the family's written yes
- No advertising uses by default: a brand request is passed to the family and goes nowhere without a written yes
- No use in content the family considers offensive to the artist's memory, whatever the fee offered
- Credits in the spelling the family approves, in Arabic and Latin script
- Nothing is added to or removed from the catalogue without a written reason sent to the family contact
What a family can provide
Families rarely have a complete file, and that is normal. We work from what exists and tell you in writing what is missing.
- Any contracts, letters or receipts the artist kept with labels, producers or broadcasters
- Proof of inheritance: a succession document, or a written agreement among the heirs naming who signs
- The artist's name in its fixed Arabic spelling and Latin transliteration
- A list of the recordings the family knows about, even if incomplete
- Audio in the best available form, from master tapes to cassettes to broadcast copies
How to start
Starting is a conversation, not a form with forty fields. You write to us, and a person replies by email to arrange a call in Arabic or English. We listen to the family's account of the catalogue and explain what can be documented and what cannot.
Then come the documents: we review them together and write down the chain of rights for each recording. Only then does the written agreement follow, with the revenue share, the reporting cycle and the removal terms set out in full before the family signs. If the family leaves later, the catalogue, its documentation and its reports are exported in full.
Questions
The recordings are already on platforms under another company. Can anything be done?
Often, yes. We trace who delivered them and under what claim, and we put the family's documented rights against it. Where the other party has no written agreement, the recordings can be reclaimed; where it does, the family learns exactly what was signed and when it ends.
There are several heirs. Who signs?
The heirs agree in writing who represents the family, and that person signs and receives the reports. Where the heirs prefer, the reports are sent to each of them.
Does the family lose control once it signs?
No. The agreement sets out what Mazufa may do and what needs the family's written yes. Removal on request is part of it, and the family contact answers every question with a written reason.
