Beat Licensing Guide
Everything you need to know about licensing instrumentals from David Ollybeatz — how leases work, what exclusive rights mean, and how to get your next release cleared the right way.
Licensing a beat is the legal foundation of every commercial release. When you license an instrumental from this catalogue, you are buying permission to use the composition in your own recorded work — your vocals, your arrangement, your release. Without a licence, even a free download cannot legally be distributed on Spotify, Apple Music, or YouTube, which is why understanding your options before you record matters.
Every licence is delivered in writing with clear terms: the number of streams or copies you may distribute, whether music videos and live performances are covered, and how long the agreement runs. If a release outgrows its licence, upgrading is straightforward — you simply move to the next tier before you exceed its limits. Exclusive buyers work directly with David Ollybeatz to agree a fair one-time fee, after which the instrumental is permanently retired from the market.
Non-Exclusive Licenses
A lease lets you release your song on streaming platforms, YouTube, and mixtapes while the instrumental remains available to other artists. Ideal for singles, EPs, and building your catalogue quickly.
- Streams & music videos included
- Clear term and distribution limits
- Affordable entry point for new artists
Exclusive Rights
An exclusive transfer takes the instrumental off the market completely. Once the paperwork is signed, the beat belongs to your project alone — no other artist can lease or release it.
- Instrumental removed from the store
- Full rights transferred to you
- Tracked-out stems on request
Sync & Creative Licensing
For film, TV, advertising, and games, beats can be licensed for sync placement. Each use case is quoted individually based on territory, duration, and media.
- Film, TV, and advertising placements
- Custom scoring available
- Cleared, ready-to-file paperwork
