Master revenue collected through Vesonus is split between the plan share and your Creator Pool.
Creator Pool shares are set before release. For productions licensed through Vesonus, Artist and Producer participation follows the selected licence.
The music industry has always favoured the middleman. We built Vesonus to change that.
Licence paths
A producer chooses the availability. The first activated licence sets the path for that production.
01 · Available to activate
A production can start Non-exclusive only, Exclusive only, or both. If both are offered, Exclusive is at least twice the Non-exclusive value. The first activated licence determines the path.
After a Non-exclusive activation, Exclusive is permanently unavailable and further Non-exclusive licences can continue. Ending one Non-exclusive licence does not affect other valid ones. An active Exclusive blocks new licensing.
02 · Keep it active
A missed payment has a 30-day grace period while the licence remains active. If it is not resolved, the licence ends and a released track must be taken down.
If an artist cancels, no remaining scheduled value is owed and the Producer keeps payments received. The licence stays valid through the paid period; the artist can reverse cancellation or pay the balance before that date. Revenue earned while valid is still allocated when later reported; after takedown, no new income is created under that licence.
03 · Complete the value
When the agreed value is fully paid, scheduled licence payments stop and the licence remains valid. Producer master participation continues separately.
A paid-up Exclusive remains exclusive. If an Exclusive ends before paid-up, its rights must end and any released work must be fully taken down before the Producer can reopen availability. Revenue generated while a licence was valid is still allocated under the agreed split when reported.
Exclusive Hold
Reserve before deciding.
An Exclusive Hold can reserve a production for up to 3 months at 3% of the Exclusive licence value per month: 1.5% to the Producer and 1.5% to Vesonus. It blocks other licensing but grants no release or usage rights. The Producer portion is credited if the artist proceeds; the Vesonus service-fee portion is not. If the Hold ends without proceeding, the production returns to the producer's prior availability.
A release can be solo, brought with collaborators, or use a production licensed through Vesonus.
For solo releases and bring-your-own collaborations, creators decide how to divide their Creator Pool.
For productions licensed through Vesonus, the selected licence defines Artist and Producer participation.
