| STAR SONGS, INC. is the music publishing arm and one-stop music copyright clearance facility of ABS-CBN Broadcasting Corporation, attached to Star Records. It has about 900 titles in its catalogue.
Star Songs was registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) in 1996.
As music publishing became an exciting business, Star Songs made a likewise significant decision to strengthen its music publishing functions. In 2003 a Consultant was hired to put into place the systems and procedures for a more efficient, more functional Star Songs. The result was very encouraging. By 2004, Star Songs figured as a promising revenue stream.
With the dizzying advances in wireless technology and the introduction of digital music as value-added service (VAS) by telecommunications companies, Star Songs, with about 600 music copyrights in its catalogue in 2004, found additional purpose for its music catalogue.
Soon enough Star Songs became one of the most pro-active music publishers in the industry, exploring heretofore "untested waters" in music licensing, especially that of digital music. It was the first local publisher to conclude a distribution agreement with Orchard, the content aggregator for giant online music distributors iTunes and Napster, among others.
Presently, it has close to 900 titles in its catalogue.
Star Songs is being sub-published in Southeast Asia by Peer
Music SEA (Hong Kong), in Australia by Amphead
Music and in the European Union (EU) by Rosso
Al Tramonto.
It is a member of the Filipino Society of Composers,
Authors and Publishers (FILSCAP) and the Music Copyright
Administrators of the Philippines (MCAP). |
