WHAT WE DO

Music Publishing • Songwriting • Production • Rights • Artist Development

Mentzinger Media Ltd is a music, media, and publishing company engaged in the creation, development, production, engineering, publishing, protection, and promotion of original music and creative intellectual property.

With experience extending more than 25 years, Mentzinger Media brings together the creative, technical, legal, publishing, business, and educational sides of the music industry.

We understand that a successful musical work is more than a recording. Behind every track are songwriters, composers, musicians, producers, engineers, publishers, copyrights, contracts, licenses, distribution channels, and intellectual-property rights.

Our mission is to help bring these elements together.

SONGWRITER & COMPOSER DEVELOPMENT

Great music begins with a great idea.

Mentzinger Media works with the creative foundations of music: songs, lyrics, melodies, compositions, arrangements, and original musical concepts.

We seek to identify and develop original works with artistic, inspirational, educational, cultural, or commercial potential.

Whether the creator is an established songwriter or an emerging artist developing an original catalog, our philosophy is centered on creating music that has something distinctive to communicate.

We believe songs should be treated not simply as entertainment, but as creative works and potentially valuable intellectual property.

MUSIC PUBLISHING

Publishing is at the heart of what we do.

Mentzinger Media develops, publishes, and manages original musical works and related creative properties. Our publishing activities may include working with songwriters and composers, developing catalogs, documenting ownership interests, assisting with copyright and publishing matters, identifying licensing opportunities, and promoting musical works.

We understand the distinction between the underlying musical composition and the sound recording, as well as the different rights, participants, and commercial opportunities that can arise from each.

Our objective is to help transform original creative works into professionally managed publishing assets.

MUSIC PRODUCTION & ENGINEERING

Mentzinger Media doesn't simply publish finished music. We understand how music is made.

Our experience encompasses songwriting, composition, recording, production, audio engineering, arranging, mixing, development of individual tracks, albums, musical scores, and other recorded works.

Over the years, the creative professionals behind Mentzinger Media have been involved in the development, production, publishing, or engineering of hundreds of tracks and audio works.

That practical experience matters because publishing decisions are stronger when the publisher understands the creative and technical processes behind the finished recording.

COPYRIGHT & INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY

A song is art. It is also intellectual property.

With approximately three decades of professional experience involving intellectual property, copyright, trademarks, business, publishing, and professional representation, the leadership behind Mentzinger Media understands the importance of protecting creative works.

Our publishing philosophy emphasizes proper documentation, ownership, attribution, copyright awareness, licensing, branding, and responsible intellectual-property management.

We want creators to understand not only how to create music, but how creative work can become a protected and potentially valuable asset.

MUSIC LICENSING & COMMERCIAL OPPORTUNITIES

A professionally developed music catalog can create opportunities across numerous markets.

Depending upon the particular work and rights involved, publishing opportunities may include recordings, digital distribution, streaming, performance, synchronization, audiovisual projects, film, television, advertising, online media, educational uses, licensing, and other commercial applications.

Mentzinger Media seeks opportunities that can extend the life and reach of original creative works while respecting the rights of the creators and owners involved.

ARTISTS, SONGWRITERS & CREATIVE TALENT

Mentzinger Media believes talented creators can emerge from anywhere.

We are interested in relationships with songwriters, composers, musicians, recording artists, producers, authors, educators, and other creative professionals who demonstrate originality and a serious commitment to their work.

Our interest extends beyond any single musical genre. We recognize the creative value of rock, pop, jazz, funk, soul, gospel, inspirational music, contemporary music, instrumental works, experimental music, scores, and other forms of musical expression.

Our roots are influenced particularly by the extraordinary musical traditions of New Orleans—jazz, funk, gospel, soul, rhythm and blues, and the musical cultures that grew around them.

INDUSTRY & AWARDS CONSIDERATION

Exceptional creative work deserves the opportunity to be heard and recognized.

As part of its music publishing and industry activities, Mentzinger Media may submit qualifying recordings and creative works for GRAMMY® Awards consideration when eligible and authorized to do so under the applicable rules of the Recording Academy.

This creates another potential pathway through which outstanding music associated with Mentzinger Media can be presented within the professional recording industry.

Submission for GRAMMY consideration is not the same as receiving a GRAMMY nomination. Entries are subject to Recording Academy eligibility requirements, screening procedures, voting processes, category requirements, deadlines, and other applicable rules. Nominations and awards are determined through the Recording Academy's official process.

Mentzinger Media does not promise nominations or awards.

What we can do is work to ensure that music we believe in is professionally created, properly developed, effectively published, and positioned to pursue legitimate industry opportunities.

BOOKS, AUDIOBOOKS & CREATIVE PUBLISHING

Our publishing experience extends beyond music.

The principals behind Mentzinger Media have participated in the writing, development, production, engineering, and publishing of hundreds of books, audiobooks, educational works, professional publications, courses, and training materials.

This creates a broader publishing platform capable of working across music, written content, recorded audio, educational media, and intellectual property.

We see these activities as increasingly interconnected.

A songwriter can become an author. An author can create an audiobook. A musician can create educational content. A professional can develop a training program. A song can become part of film, video, advertising, or another multimedia project.

Mentzinger Media exists at the intersection of these creative possibilities.

MUSIC BUSINESS EDUCATION

Mentzinger Media also believes that creators should understand the business behind their creativity.

Drawing upon decades of experience in music, law, intellectual property, publishing, business, and professional education, our educational activities can address areas such as music publishing, copyright, trademarks, licensing, intellectual property, business formation, incorporation, artist representation, publishing companies, music entrepreneurship, and operating a music or media business.

The quality and educational-management experience associated with our leadership and affiliated Board of Standards organizations includes work under internationally recognized frameworks such as ISO 9001, ISO 29993, and ISO 21001, subject to the scope of the applicable certifications.

Our goal is practical: help creative professionals better understand the business structures surrounding their work.

FROM CREATION TO RECOGNITION

Mentzinger Media's approach can be summarized as a creative progression:

CREATE → DEVELOP → PRODUCE → ENGINEER → PUBLISH → PROTECT → DISTRIBUTE → PROMOTE → RECOGNIZE

We understand the songwriter because we have written songs.

We understand production because we have produced and engineered music.

We understand publishing because we have published music, books, audiobooks, and educational works.

We understand intellectual property because our leadership has decades of professional experience involving copyrights, trademarks, business, and IP.

And we understand that ultimately the purpose of all of these activities is to connect great creative work with an audience.
