Inside the Empire

Useful questions to ask about your statements and payments.

Identify the reporting period
Distinguish the usage period, the date data is received and the payment date. These can differ. Refer to the terms of your agreement.

Keep your references
Keep track titles, release identifiers and reporting periods. These references help the team locate the correct project when a question comes up.

Ask a specific question
Email royalties@hhomeempi.re with the project and period. Do not submit bank details through the general website form.

A clear, focused introduction helps start a useful conversation with the label.

Start with the music
Choose a listening link that represents your sound. Check access in a private browser window and include a listening password in your message if needed.

Explain your direction
Describe your background, influences and what you want to build in a few sentences. Clear intentions are more useful than a long list of promises.

Tell us what you need
Distribution, artist support, label collaboration or booking: tell us what you are looking for and your timeline. This helps connect you to the right team.

The essentials to gather for a clear project presentation and a realistic timeline.

A final audio version
Prepare a final master and keep a working copy. Avoid links that expire too quickly. Ask the team for technical specifications before delivering final files.

Consistent information
Gather the artist name, title, contributors, songwriters and credits. Check spelling and use consistent information across your materials.

A realistic timeline
Share your ideal date, available artwork and planned promotion. The team will work with you on timing based on the project and processing requirements.
