How to deliver your songs

Send:

  1. The songs (only mp3s, not WAV or any other format)

  2. The lyrics (Word or PDF)

  3. The fully signed splitsheet (PDF)

to songs@songexpo.no. This can either be done directly in the email or via a link to a Google Drive or Dropbox folder (WeTransfer and other similar services are also OK).

Name the mp3 like this: Song Title [Lead] (Full Name, Full Name, Full Name).mp3. Here is an example of how all the files could look like:

Splitsheets

For each song you write at Song:Expo you will need to sign a split sheet. A split sheet contains each person's contribution to the song, and is an agreement that identifies the ownership percentage each person has. It also includes information such as whether you have a publisher or not, and what PRO you are a part of. At Song:Expo we operate with an equal share between the contributors.

In our split sheet you must fill out the following information:

Song information

  • Date - The date you signed the splitsheet

  • Title - The title of the song

  • Producers - The producer of the song

  • Demo singers - The demo singer(s) of the song

For each songwriter

  • Name - Your full name. Pseudonyms are acceptable

  • Contribution - Your contribution to the song. Producers, topline, singer, lyrics, etc.

  • PRO - Your Performance Rights Organization. TONO, STIM, PRS, etc. Leave blank if you are not part of a PRO.

  • Publisher - Write down the organization that is responsible for your copyright. Leave blank if you are independent

  • IPI - Your International Identification Number given by your PRO.

  • Share - Your share in percent.

  • Signature - Your signature.

How to sign splitsheets

Splitsheets are found in the conference room at Musikkbyen.

Each person in the group signs the spiltsheet manually.

Take a picture of the document and turn it in with the mp3 and the lyrics.
