MUSIC PUBLISHING
With over 20 years of experience in the music publishing business, we are well equipped to advise, consult, administer, license, research, register songs, and pitch your music to film and television supervisors. Because we also handle music clearances, we are on top of what is happening in the production world and we are therefore able to slip your songs in the hands of music supervisors quite easily. Our strong network of subpublishers overseas provides us with additional support and collections of royalties around the world. We offer three (3) year administration deals at a 15% commission.

DMG CLEARANCES, INC
In early 2010, Deborah Evans and Deborah Mannis-Gardner met face-to-face
after years of working together via email and telephone.
They connected instantly. Both Deborahs have a similar vision, work ethic, knowledge and experience, and together
they knew that a publishing and clearance partnership would not only serve their individual music companies well, but would also be afirst rate resource for songwriters who needed solid, hands on, proactive administration, promotion, and clearances.
DMG and Della Music jointly administer the catalogues of Reggie Noble and Erick Sermon, among other writers, and Della Music often assists with music clearance projects which are the focus of DMG Clearances Inc.
Together they reach out almost daily to new songwriters as well as seasoned composers who are looking for a
smaller independent publisher whose primary focus is on the songwriter – not on the income that the songwriter brings in.
The songwriter is our #1 priority and every songwriter receives our full attention, no matter what the issue.

In 2002, she moved to Helene Blue Musique Ltd. as Director of Copyright and Licensing. Deborah later became Director of Publishing for Stray Dog Music.
