I Suspect My Label Is Not Paying Me Royalties I am Owed. What Can I Do?

When you are owed royalties under a recording agreement, the agreement should also provide that the record company give you a regular royalty statement explaining what monies have come in from the sales of your album and how the proceeds are being allocated in accordance with the terms of the agreement.

If you are not receiving regular statements, or you suspect the statements are not reflecting all of the actual income on the album sales, you can request a Royalty Audit.
