Learn more →Who We Are
Independent. London-based.
Code Group Music is a specialist music label services company dedicated entirely to independent artists and rights holders. We believe that every catalog deserves institutional-grade infrastructure, the same rigour applied to the world's largest labels, applied to yours.
We are not a major label. We are not a distributor with a dashboard and no phone number. We are a small, expert team that takes a limited number of clients and gives each one our full attention.

Common Questions
Everything you'd want to know, answered honestly.
We work with independent artists, bands, and small labels that want institutional-grade label services without signing away their creative freedom or ownership. If you are making music that deserves to be heard, we want to help it reach further.
Publishing administration means we register your songs with the relevant collection societies globally (PRS, ASCAP, SESAC, SOCAN and others) and actively pursue royalty collection across performance, mechanical, synchronisation, and digital licensing channels. Most artists leave substantial money uncollected. We recover it.
Yes. Absolute ownership remains with you. We administer your rights on your behalf. We never acquire a share of your copyright or publishing. This is a service relationship, not a record deal. We retain a small commission for administering your works.
We distribute to 150+ DSPs worldwide, including Spotify, Apple Music, YouTube Music, Amazon Music, Tidal, and all major platforms, with rapid turnaround, high-quality metadata, and transparent monthly reporting. We also handle pre-save campaigns and playlist pitching for marquee releases.
Incorrect or missing metadata is one of the most common reasons royalties go unpaid. If your tracks are not correctly identified with ISRC codes, writer splits, and label information, collection societies and platforms cannot route your money to you. We make sure every release is unambiguously attributed.
