Why collaborate?
There's a reason why you see the biggest artists in the world across all genres (Ed Sheeran, Justin Bieber, Elevation Worship & Maverick City Music, Dan + Shay, Charlie Puth, etc.) constantly collaborating and featuring other established artists, and that's because 'long lasting cross promotions' (aka collabs) are the easiest and fastest way for artists to share each other's audiences and grow their fanbases! Collaborations with established artists in your genre are THE most advanced and effective form of music marketing. Period. Especially when it comes to Spotify.
Anthem Collab Benefits:
1) Free Marketing Included: Your collab release includes a free LAUNCH ($400 value) + indefinite ArtistPool playlist marketing ($1k per year value) across the full TAC Playlist Network (over 300k+ playlist followers).
2) Audience Collaborations: Your worship collab will be released as a Primary Collaboration with one of our ideal Anthem artist brands.
3) Digital Streaming platforms: Our team gets the song placed in the stop digital stores + Spotify Discovery Mode via our Anthem Distribution.
4) Additional Revenue Streams: We have partnered with a couple top-tier Publishing companies to open up every revenue stream possible for our collaborations, which ensures all publishing/songwriting revenue is collected and distributed.
MEANING, this is a wildy effective marketing strategy to grow your ideal audience and artist reputation across ALL platforms nonstop, 24/7, without committing to a long-term artist deal with a record label.
Requirements:
1) You must have the right sound and brand to qualifiy for a specific artist collab.
2) You must have a song/idea in the works that you can send us for consideration/approval (covers or originals). You can even send us a song in its very early stages (like a voice memo or rough mix).
3) Our team is only looking to collaborate with artists/bands who are serious and passionate about their music and careers, and fit our ideal style/genre perfectly. Artists who already have successful platforms will def be prioritized. We usually look to see that you're already a released artist with a decent platform built up, and that your other music is of the highest quality for your genre.

What's an Anthem Collab?
Anthem Collabs are one-off project label deals in which TAC helps grow your artist brand with genre-relevant artist collaborations. We often do anywhere from 1-10 songs minimum for these deals, but we occasionally can do less if we love the song and artist, or if it's for one of our newer brands.
Splits: Subject to change depending on the artist!
Royalty Split Options: (subject to updates)
1) Splits will depend on the artist brand you are collab'ing with. Some deals are 50/50, some are 75/25, some are 85/15, 90/10, etc. (We'll iron that out once approved!)
2) TAC takes a higher % of splits when we front any of the capital for production and marketing
FYI, most covers only involve master royalties and splits, while original songs require master AND publishing splits.
Ownership:
Note: TAC must own 100% of the masters and publishing and control distribution and publishing admin outright, for a couple reasons.
1) These songs are under our personal brands and artists which are being leveraged to grow the featured artist's platform and the song revenue.
2) We need to own 100% so we can make deals with other companies and platforms to generate more revenue for the songs, and we must be able to guarantee to those partnerships that we control 100% of the song rights. This is a non-negotiable.
Artist is guaranteed their artist royalty splits via our in-house distribution.
Pricing/Expenses:
Depends which artist you collaborate with and what the deal is!
TAC approval is required in every aspect of this collaboration, so the higher the quality up front, the less changes on the backend. We may also recommend our go-to producers/mixing engineers/mastering engineers if needed, as well as videographers.
NOTE: We are only looking for the highest quality music in terms of lyrics, vocal performance, and production, so only submit for this if you truly believe in your project and sound, because not every submission will be approved.
