Demos should only be submitted to our record labels (e.g., Atlantic, Elektra, Warner Records, Parlophone) for consideration, not directly to Warner Music Group. However, please note that our record labels do not accept unsolicited materials. This means that your demo must be recommended to our labels by an established industry professional (manager, agent, lawyer, journalists, one of our artists, etc.). Industry professionals that understand the creative goals of our record labels are best suited to make these recommendations. We strongly suggest you seek out the assistance of one of these individuals.

If you are interested in using the actual sound recording by an artist on a WMG record label, a good place to start is by calling our licensing division at Rhino Entertainment (818) 238-6100. If you are interested in using a musical composition that is published or administered by our music publishing company, Warner Chappell Music, you should visit the Warner Chappell website where you will find a useful song search tool as well as tools to request mechanical and print licenses.

It has come to our attention that individuals impersonating employees of Warner Music Group or one of our affiliates have been contacting artists with fraudulent schemes in an attempt to scam them out of money.  Although these emails and social media accounts may look like they are from someone at WMG, please note that it is against our policy for employees of WMG to accept or to ask for any type of fee in exchange for submitting your demo or signing a contract.  If you have been contacted by someone who claims to be an employee of WMG and who requests a fee, please email us at [email protected].

Scam artists are misusing the Warner Music Group brand to defraud people. They’re enticing people to invest cryptocurrency to join a pyramid scheme. We’ve filed a complaint with prosecutors and are talking to law enforcement about the scheme. Please don’t share your details with these people, attend their meetings or pay them money.

Over the years, some recording artists, songwriters and producers affiliated with us and our companies have moved without notifying us of their new addresses. This means that royalty payments and/or royalty accountings are occasionally returned to us without forwarding information. 

If you are a royalty participant and believe you are entitled to an accounting or have moved without notifying us, please visit our artist royalties page for more information.
