WHY THIS IS OUR WAY
To Be Honest. is more than a music publishing brand - it's a movement to transform the music industry.
We’re here to disrupt the status quo and bring clarity where there’s often confusion, simplicity where there’s complexity, and fairness where it’s long overdue.
Artists have always championed honesty, transparency, and authenticity — these values lie at the heart of true self-expression. Yet, when it comes to the music business, the legal and financial landscape is anything but straightforward. It’s a labyrinth of contracts, rights, and royalties where too many artists get lost and too much value is left on the table. The system can feel stacked against creators. We’re here to change that.
Our mission is to make music rights simpler, more accessible, and direct. We’re about fair compensation, real transparency, and ensuring that every artist understands their worth. We believe in the value of music and are committed to fighting for the rights of creators, helping them get the compensation they deserve, and demystifying the complexities of the industry.
But this isn’t just for artists. Our vision extends to the entire ecosystem — music supervisors, production companies, venues, brands, and collective management organizations. We’re building bridges and fostering partnerships where trust and fairness are the cornerstones.
Ultimately, we’re here to bring honesty back into the music business. Because when everyone — creators, partners, and stakeholders alike — operates on a foundation of transparency and fairness, the entire industry thrives.
to be honest. is not just our name; it’s our promise.
