  • Over the years, some recording artists, songwriters, and producers affiliated with Watershed Music Group have moved without notifying us of their new address. This means that royalty payments and/or accountings are occasionally returned to us without forwarding information. If you are a royalty participant and believe you are entitled to an accounting or have moved without notifying WMG, please complete the relevant form under “Finance Forms” below.

    Other recording artists, songwriters, and producers affiliated with Watershed Music Group have never turned in a completed tax form. That means no royalty payments are sent, which explains why they appear “missing.” If you are a royalty participant entitled to royalties from your songs or any of our recorded music, please complete the relevant form under “Finance Forms” below.
