The Reggae Embassy has already begun to address and fix countless issues in the Reggae Music Industry in Jamaica and the rest of the world. Consistently featured in the media, the Reggae Embassy with its world headquarters located in Jamaica, has been highly praised for assisting those in Reggae and Dancehall both locally and internationally. In Jamaica, it has already been successful in securing publishing for Jamaican songwriters, releasing songs properly, ensuring that royalties are allotted to the writers and Master Rights owners, providing more cost effective digital distribution options and much more. The positive word has been spreading in Jamaica and across the globe about the genuine assistance that is stemming from the Reggae Embassy.
The Reggae Embassy aims to keep members of the Reggae Music fraternity including Recording Artists, Record Label Owners, Managers, Music Investors (Executive Producers), Composers, Producers, and those in Media well informed and properly trained in various areas of the industry to their benefit and ensure that their investments are not wasted. With this type of training and assistance, it strengthens the industry as a whole and manifests the professionalism that this industry has desperately needed.
The existence of this organization is aimed at addressing and finding solutions to the needs, wants and concerns of those within the Reggae Music Industry regardless if they are a client of the Embassy or not. It possesses an Advocacy Division for a better Reggae industry as well as assistance for those within the industry.
It is the Reggae Embassy’s goal to educate and advance those who wish to utilize the organization as the tool it was developed to be. It is assisting in numerous areas such as signing up song writers for their preferred writer’s societies, copyright protection, licensing, recording and/or production agreements, master rights negotiation, bookings, management assistance and much more.
While the Reggae Industry is very lucrative much of the returns are not seen by Jamaican Reggae songwriters, recording artists, composers and producers due to improper song distribution and lack of professionalism in song releases. To help them with this issue, the Reggae Embassy established a division solely for proper song release. The Music Embassies, which is responsible for founding the Reggae Embassy, are ISRC Managers licensed by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA). This division makes sure that all writers and song splits are listed properly, an ISRC number is assigned, and the song is mastered by the organization’s Grammy-Nominated Engineer who ensures that the necessary metadata encoding to see to it that airplay and sales are properly recorded and tracked.
The Reggae Embassy’s Digital Distribution Division places songs in over 400 online stores worldwide. While other digital distributors ask for 20-25% of the sales, the Reggae Embassy allows its clients to maintain 100% of the sales and only charges a one-time flat fee for a lifetime of distribution for a song, EP or full length album which also includes some online exposure as well.
Even though many of the top artists in the Reggae industry have the above in their reach, the Reggae Embassy now ensures that everyone in the industry now has access to the same high level of quality care and professionalism for their projects at a reasonable cost. They also at times will assist with funding of projects in part or even in full.
One of the Reggae Embassy’s most popular services are the Music Industry Training sessions specifically for Recording Artists, Managers, Producers, Music Investors, Executive Producers, Record Labels and Composers. It is a one day session that offers intensive training on what royalties are and how they work, licensing, team members roles, artistic rights, publishing, master rights/sound recording ownership and more. Those who elect to utilize the organization to its fullest capacity continues to receive training and the nurturing that it has to offer.
