Lumoza is rights infrastructure for independent artists, publishers, and labels. The platform creates a verifiable record of ownership the moment a song is finished, then handles registration with performing rights organizations across territories. The goal is simple: make sure royalties end up with the people who actually made the music.

You upload a track. Lumoza extracts and validates the metadata, captures contributors and splits, and creates a verifiable record of ownership at the point of creation. From there, the system handles registration with performing rights organizations so you do not have to fill out forms across multiple societies. You see the status in your dashboard.

Lumoza is built for anyone who creates or owns music rights. Songwriters, producers, and self-published artists use it to register works without the paperwork. Publishers and labels use it to manage catalogs at scale. The platform works the same way for one song or ten thousand.

Lumoza is free for independent artists during the beta and will stay free for that audience after launch. Paid tiers are coming for publishers, labels, and high-volume catalog owners who need bulk tools and additional features. Pricing will be transparent and posted publicly when those tiers launch.

No. Lumoza never takes ownership of your music or your rights. The platform only handles registration and metadata management on your behalf. You stay the rights holder, you control your splits, and you can export your data at any time. Lumoza is infrastructure, not a publishing deal.

A Digital Birth Certificate is a verifiable, timestamped record of a song’s ownership, splits, and contributors at the moment of creation. It establishes provenance from day one, so when royalties are calculated downstream, the underlying ownership data is already locked in and traceable. Think of it as a passport for your song.

At minimum: track title, all writers and composers, and split percentages totaling 100%. Helpful additions include ISRC codes if you have them, publisher information, and PRO affiliations. The cleaner your metadata at upload, the smoother the registrations and the faster royalties flow back to you. Lumoza validates and flags missing fields automatically.

Splits are entered at upload, with each contributor named alongside their percentage. Once all parties confirm, the splits are locked into a verifiable record and used for every downstream registration. If a split needs to change later, the update is captured with a timestamp so the history is always clear.

With clean metadata, a typical registration is filed within hours of upload. The exact timing depends on the receiving society, since each PRO has its own processing schedule. The traditional process can take weeks or months across multiple societies. Lumoza does the work in parallel, so you wait for the slowest society, not all of them stacked up.

At launch, Lumoza supports ASCAP, BMI, and PRS for Music, with SOCAN and additional societies coming next. Coverage is expanding through trusted industry partners, with the goal of supporting every major performing rights organization globally. If your PRO is not yet supported, let us know so we can prioritize it.

No. Lumoza works alongside your existing PRO membership. You stay registered with ASCAP, BMI, PRS, or whichever society you already belong to. Lumoza handles the registration of your works with that PRO, so the data flows correctly into the system you are already in. No relationships need to change.

Today, Lumoza covers performance rights and works registration through PROs. The roadmap adds support for mechanical royalties through bodies like the MLC, neighboring rights through SoundExchange and equivalents abroad, and master recording rights. Predictive royalty insights and direct DAW integrations are also planned for future releases.

Lumoza was founded by George Macias (CEO), Jim Saraco, and Ken Lenga (CTO). George spent over 20 years in the music industry, including roles at Universal Music Group and MatchTune, where he saw firsthand how royalties go unclaimed because of broken registration workflows. Lumoza is the platform he wanted to build for the artists who never had access to that infrastructure. The company is incorporated in Delaware and headquartered in California.

Your metadata is processed in encrypted systems with strict access controls. Audio files, when uploaded for analysis, are deleted after processing and never stored long-term. Ownership records are timestamped and tamper-resistant, so they cannot be quietly altered. You always control your data and can export it at any time.

Lumoza does not broker sync deals at launch, but the platform makes you sync-ready. Locked splits, clean metadata, and a verifiable ownership record mean that when a music supervisor asks for proof of ownership, you can hand it over instantly. Direct integrations with sync platforms are on the future roadmap.

Reach out through the contact form or email hello@lumoza.io. Most metadata corrections can be made directly in your dashboard, with the change captured in the record so the history is preserved. For registrations already filed with a PRO, Lumoza coordinates the correction with the receiving society. You are not stuck with a mistake.
