We’ve got all the info you need.

Within your Songtrust Royalty Dashboard, you can view your overall revenue, along with how much each of your registered songwriters earned individually. To take a closer look at the latter, select a writer’s name where it says “All Clients” in the “Royalties” section:

You also have the option to export a CSV file if you’d like to back this information up as a spreadsheet. Please go to “Menu” and “Royalties”, and select the first drop-down menu, where it says “Statements”. The last option should be “Export Statements”.
