Before COVID, publishing had already become an essential part of developing a creator\u2019s career and sustaining income. Over the past year, publishing and sync is in the news weekly. Artists are selling their catalogues (for big numbers) and TV shows have quickly pushed artists to the top of the charts.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
