Created by Artists, for Artists
Co-founded by music producer Leonardo Ortegon (aka MIICHII) and Julian Castaneda of WAYU Records, WAYU Publishing was built by music creators, for music creators.
Rooted in our core values—Transparency, Education, Collaboration, and Fairness—we empower songwriters by simplifying rights management. Our mission is to protect creative integrity and maximize royalty collections through clarity, care, and community—not contracts and complexity.
