What is the name of your state? Illinois.
About 8 years ago I began recording music with a producer named Steve, who works for a music producing company. He offered to record my music for free. We recorded all the songs (that I wrote the music and lyrics for), and he put them on all major music distribution sites (Spotify, iTunes, etc.) through the website Distrokid. This took 8 years because he's kindof a slow worker, everything was released in July of this year. On the music sites, at the bottom, it says the name of his production company with a small p with a circle around it. I've asked him about copyrights and he said he has "studio rights" to the songs but didn't go into detail, and everytime I ask him more info about it he kinda beats around the bush. Does the small p with a circle around it mean he owns my music? And does that mean that he gets all the royalties for it?
Thanks!
