From sign-up to code

    The team reviews your sign-up and emails you when your account is enabled.

    Full lyrics, co-writers with each one's share and theme hashtags.

    Get your code and receipt

    Every song gets its ZC code and a PDF with a digital fingerprint and a verification QR code.

ZC code

Every composition gets an identity

As soon as a songwriter submits a work, the system generates a unique code: ZC, the year of submission and its order of arrival. It stays with the song forever — in the catalog, on the receipt and in every conversation with the publisher.

What you get

Organized co-writing

Co-writers with an account are linked automatically and confirm the split from their own dashboard.

A history that can't be erased

Chained submissions: nothing changes without a trace, and every version has its receipt.

03

A showcase for artists

Once approved, the song joins the catalog browsed by artists and producers.

04

Always in the loop

Under review, changes requested or approved: the status of every song, always visible.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need to belong to a performing rights society?

It's not required to sign up. If you are already a member (ABRAMUS, UBC, AMAR and others), let us know: it speeds up the publisher's work.

Does submitting a song mean the publisher will publish it?

No. Every submission is reviewed. You follow the status on your dashboard and receive the feedback by email.

What if my co-writer doesn't have an account?

Enter their name and email or CPF. When they sign up and are approved, the co-writing credit is linked to their account for confirmation.

Can I change a composition after submitting it?

To protect the history, changes only happen when the publisher requests adjustments. Every resubmission produces a new receipt, and the ZC code stays the same.

Can I submit a song that has already been recorded?

Yes. Mark it as “already recorded” and tell us by whom.

What about audio?

Audio upload is on its way. For now, the lyrics and song details already secure the code and the receipt.

You write. We take care of it.
