Riptide Music Group is the independent global music publishing  and sync solution for those who demand an innovative and agile partner that is big enough to matter, and small enough to care.


PUBLISHING AND ADMINISTRATION
Proudly independent Riptide Music Group provides full-service publishing administration for songwriters, artists, labels, catalogs, and rights holders, acting as both a global collection partner and a strategic rights management backbone. Our services include worldwide copyright registration and administration, royalty collection and auditing, mechanical and performance income processing, synchronization licensing, Content ID and UGC monetization management, subpublishing coordination, metadata management, and detailed royalty accounting and reporting.

SYNC!
Beyond traditional administration, Riptide is a trusted name in Sync Licensing for 20+ years, generating over $60 million for independent artists and songwriters across film, television, advertising, games, trailers, and digital media, while maintaining sophisticated infrastructure for rights tracking, ownership verification, and revenue transparency. A few recent placements include: Ford x MLB, Volvo, Pepsi, Google Pixel, The Beast In Me, Criminal Minds, FIFA and Street Fighter.

PUBLISHING AND SYNC BACKBONE FOR INDEPENDENT LABELS
For labels and companies that own or control publishing rights but do not have internal publishing operations, Riptide functions as an outsourced publishing department and operational backbone — handling the complex administration, registration, licensing, and collection ecosystem so clients can focus on artist development, releases, and growth while ensuring their publishing assets are properly protected, monetized, and exploited worldwide.
