How Kainbeats Fixed His Music Publishing
How Keane Wang (aka Kainbeats) went from delayed royalties and unregistered songs to full control, monthly payouts, and sync success with ReRight.
From Royalties Lost to Royalties Unlocked: Why Kainbeats Left His Traditional PRO & Music Publishing Administrator for ReRight
“Three years in, and I still wasn’t paid properly.”
Keane Wang—aka Kainbeats—had millions of streams, was working with the biggest Lofi record label Lofi Girl, and had a fast-growing fanbase. But his music publishing royalties were missing.
He was using major PRO and a well-known music publishing administrator—a standard combo for many independent artists. But payments were delayed, support was unresponsive, and half of his catalog wasn’t registered correctly despite him doing everything he could by adding his data to their websites correctly.
"With my PRO, I was hardly getting any royalties compared to my streaming numbers."
"My publishing administrator... they had about 2 years, and hadn’t registered those tracks. Support hasn’t responded to me for months.”
Then came the breaking point: a major publisher was claiming Keane’s royalties on songs that his publishing administrator was supposed to be. When he found out, he wasn’t surprised.
"That's appalling but expected tbh, given how low payouts have been – they're much lower than they should be."
It was time for a different approach.
Transitioning to ReRight for Better Royalty Management
Keane discovered ReRight after Daniel and Thomas, ReRight’s co-founders, emailed to let him know that he was missing out on a lot of his publishing royalties. Normally, Keane would be skeptical of a cold email like this:
“Lofi artists get a lot of mass emails. Some artists ask each other about them. Daniel’s email was personalised and specific, and I was interested as I knew there was a problem with my royalty collection. I checked their LinkedIns and saw their backgrounds and thought that these guys knew what they were talking about and were a good combo. I didn’t feel I had much to lose leaving my old setup so I was like, let’s go for it.”
After Keane first logged into ReRight’s ‘Creator Console,’ he was struck by the design and feel:
"Just got in! The login process was all smooth and easy. It already looks like one of the best dashboards I've seen, if not the best. Also a really neat way to show additional recording versions."
When ReRight shipped their new QUICK ADD tool, Keane was one of the first creators to try it. He added 100 tracks in 30 minutes:
"Quick add is awesome! Added about 100 tracks with 25m+ Spotify streams in 30 minutes! That's some good stuff."
Those tracks were registered for instant monetisation, not after 9–12 months.
Then the payouts started hitting.
“I think the word will spread because the way you’ve structured it, it almost seems too easy. Like it’s just a game, and it’s not actually publishing. When the money just shows up in the account—I mean, even I was surprised at how easy it was.”

Who Can Benefit Most from ReRight’s Music Publishing Platform
ReRight is for artists, songwriters, producers, and anyone with publishing rights who wants to collect digital royalties faster, fully, and without the usual admin headaches.
It’s especially powerful for creators with a growing catalog—whether you’re doing tens of thousands or millions of streams. From Afro-beats and Lo-fi to Pop, Folk, Hip-Hop, and Electronic, ReRight is genre-agnostic and infrastructure-first. “We have creators who are just starting out and others that have Grammy Awards. We’ve built this for everyone and anyone.” said Daniel, one of ReRight’s co-founders.
There’s no minimum requirement. Many creators join with low stream counts and quickly level up. Why? Because ReRight gives them control, pays monthly, and helps unlock new opportunities—like sync.
Not sure how publishing royalties actually work? Here’s a quick explainer.
Platforms like Songtrust or Kosign stop at royalty collection. ReRight goes further: it actively pitches your music for sync and can also opt it into TikTok’s Commercial Music Library—something traditional PROs and publishing admins simply can’t do.
Daniel also gave this interesting insight: “We’re seeing artists making thousands per month from TikTok's Commercial Music Library that have hardly any streams on YouTube or Spotify. That’s why we don’t have a minimum requirement of royalties to collect, like Kosign does, because we’re excited to create new opportunities and revenue streams, not just collect what’s already there.”
But ReRight isn’t just a better UI. It’s a global rights infrastructure built to bypass the maze of PROs, collecting societies, and other legacy intermediaries. Here’s how it works:
Direct global licensing of both performing and mechanical rights.
Automated data ingestion of your full catalog and new releases.
Monthly payments directly from DSPs, not delayed by layers of admin and hidden fees.
While most publishers take a retroactive approach, trying to match incomplete data to recordings using third-party companies, ReRight makes those connections at source, with its best-in-class technology, and pre-claims—forward looking and proactive.
ReRight takes a transparent 15% commission on collected royalties. This is lower than the 20%+ charged by Songtrust, Kosign, and Sentric, who rely on third-party CMOs, further reducing your share.
Sync licensing rates are 18–25%, and creators can opt in when it suits them. ReRight gives you control, not constraints.
How ReRight Unlocks Opportunities Traditional Music Publishers Can’t
Take sync licensing. When Discord launched a new Lo-fi listening app, they needed easy-to-license, high-quality commercial music. But they couldn’t license it through the PRO/CMO system—it’s too fragmented and complicated, and they didn’t want to use “Royalty Free” or AI-generated alternatives. ReRight offered the perfect alternative — a sweet spot of efficiency and high quality.
Keane was part of the ReRight creators they chose to work with. Afterwards, he said:
"A big thanks to @discord for the opportunity to feature my music in their new 'Lofi' activity! Such a thing would be difficult without the help of @reright, who is able to ensure 100% rights cleared and global digital licenses without the fragmentation of traditional publishing."
ReRight’s infrastructure and innovative licensing model made it possible. Traditional publishers weren’t even in the conversation.

ReRight's Creator-Centric Approach to Music Publishing
Keane didn’t just use the platform; he helped shape it:
Provided feedback on designs, prototypes, and user experience.
Helped to influence our Mini-Sites tool and upcoming features like Split Sheets.
Acted as an early signal for what the broader Lofi creator community needs.
ReRight moves fast because it builds with creators, not just for them.
"The interface is easier to use… and I haven't even needed to think about publishing consciously. It’s so much better than what I was using before—just a completely different experience."
Whether you’re an artist, producer, songwriter, or beatmaker, collecting royalties shouldn’t take 9 months. With ReRight, your publishing admin headaches are replaced by automation, clarity, and speed.
How ReRight Is Growing Through Word of Mouth in the Creator Community
Other Lo-fi artists started reaching out, asking how he was getting paid so fast. Keane’s answer was simple:
"I always recommend ReRight. Most artists have no idea how bad the legacy system is."
Many of the leading artists in the Lofi community have joined recently. After using QUICK ADD to add 184 songs in half a day, Dontcry said: “The quick add tool is great! So easy and fast, love it!”
As well as Kainbeats and Dontcry, other artists from the Lofi community have join ReRight as well recently. These include Mondo Loops, Brxvs, Sleepermane, Bcalm, Pointy Features, Hevi, Straizo and bad at math. and many more!
ReRight is growing not through ads, but through stories.
Why Music Creators Are Done Waiting to Get Paid Their Publishing Royalties
“Every musician has that nagging thought in their mind, like, ‘Oh, I gotta sign up all my tracks.’ You know? And it’s just so much easier to not have to worry about that.”
ReRight replaced that worry with visibility, control, and speed. It didn’t just improve Keane’s royalties—it does the heavy lifting so he can focus on creating, which is what matters most.
