What’s the difference between a music publisher and a record label?
 

Music Publisher:

A music publisher represents songwriters. Their role is to specifically handle administration, manage, and monetize the economic rights of song copyrights on behalf of the songwriters for their creations.

Record Label:

A record label works with recording artists and is responsible for recording, producing, distributing, and promoting the artists' recorded works. They collaborate with musicians to create and market recordings while managing both physical and digital distribution.
