Jody Gerson’s message for UMPG songwriters and clients

Dear UMPG songwriters, clients, partners and friends:

We hope that you, your family and loved ones are healthy and safe.

Much has changed in the world during the past weeks.  But much remains the same.

Most notably, music is once again helping to lead the healing process in a time of need.  We applaud the artists, writers and all those who are using the power of music to inspire and unite people.  At UMPG, we are so proud to be a part of the music community and what remains the same is UMPG’s commitment to our songwriters, publisher clients, employees and communities.

Please be assured that at UMPG, we continue to conduct our business in the normal course, except that our employees are working remotely in the safety of their own homes. Our teams remain fully connected to our business systems and in regular communication with one another.

Service continues uninterrupted, with royalty statements and payments processed on time.  New songs will be added to our systems and submitted for registration as we continue promoting and licensing your music with the same passion and care we have always offered. UMPG’s creative team will continue working with our writers on collaborative opportunities.

You can access real-time information about your royalties and catalog via UMPG Window, our online portal. UMPG Window grants you more access to your account than ever before, providing global analysis and real-time balances. 

If you do not already have a UMPG Window account, please consider signing up at https://www.umpgwindow.com/register.  If you have any questions, don’t hesitate to contact us at: austin.dest@umusic.com

As always, thank you for trusting UMPG as your music publishing partner.

Sincerely, 

Jody Gerson
