Prince's Trust Music

Use your music to change young lives. Prince’s Trust Music Publishing is a professional music publisher with a unique difference- it enables your music to change young lives across the UK.

For 25 years The Prince's Trust has had a special relationship with music. It was one of the first charities to organise fundraising concerts, featuring stars as diverse as Sting, Paul McCartney, Beyonce and Jay-Z.

Our many musical ambassadors have not only helped to raise millions of pounds for The Trust over the years, but also helped us secure huge amounts of publicity to help the hardest to reach young people in the UK. Prince’s Trust Music Publishing is a logical step forwards in this long term relationship.

The unique difference?

Unlike other publishers PT Music applies its publisher share exclusively back to supporting The Prince's Trust’s charitable work across the UK as well as offering a commercially competitive service.

We are the only “good-cause” music publisher in the UK. Unlike other good causes we offer a commercial service to our composers so that you receive not only your composer share in full, but also access to unique commercial outlets which only The Trust can deliver.

There are other differences too. We know that many composers want to share their skills with others less fortunate, and we provide a framework to enable co-writing opportunities, composer workshops and job-shadowing with young people.

As publishers we want to work with all composers and our Composer Club is one way in which you can let us publish individual works even if you’re with another publisher or if you don’t want to be tied down to an exclusive deal.

The business is run by a professional team headed by Mike Cobb with years of industry experience. The company’s catalogue is administered internationally by Universal Music Publishing.

Every year The Prince’s Trust helps over 40,000 disadvantaged young people turn their lives around. We can improve on this with your help - and at the same time offer genuine and competitive Music Publishing for you and your music.
