Navigating The MLC: How the Songwriter Hub Helps Creators and Their Teams

The MLC’s Songwriter Hub is designed to help creators and their teams view, organize, and manage their song data with The MLC. In this webinar, The MLC team will walk through the Songwriter Hub and demonstrate how songwriters and their representatives can better understand how their songs and writer information appear in The MLC’s database. Attendees will learn how to review and organize song data, build and share a complete catalog, explore co-writer connections, and submit requests to correct or improve song information—including identifying unmatched recordings that may need attention. Whether you’re a creator or work on behalf of one, this session provides a clear, practical overview of how the Songwriter Hub helps keep song data accurate and organized—so nothing gets missed.
