PRESS RELEASE
THE MUSIC SPECIALIST AND ON TOP RECORDS, LLC TEAM UP

May 5, 2022 (Atlanta, GA) – ON TOP RECORDS, LLC has been around for many years, but a new, more formal collaboration between Allen Johnston (The Music Specialist) and Jose Armada Jr. (ON TOP RECORDS, LLC) promises to send the label to new heights.  Johnston and Armada have worked together for over 20 years and have developed hundreds of positive revenue projects. Now the two are looking forward to even bigger and better things.
Armada said, “Allen and I have the same goal. We want to assist those who need help distributing their music and music videos, with an emphasis on independent labels and artists. We have the tools and expertise to make that happen.
Johnston reiterated the fact that their focus is on independent labels and artists, stating, “Music is a business. You can have the most talented artist or record label, and if they don’t know the business end of it – i.e., how to get their music and music videos distributed, played, and how to collect compensation for those, they will probably either fail or spend much more money than necessary. A lot of artists spend money on things that they don’t need to. We guide them through the entire process, even assisting them with their social media sites. To say that we help them with TIK TOK, Spotify, Facebook, and YouTube would be just scratching the surface.”
ON TOP RECORDS, LLC works with all genres of music, but over the last 15 years, Latin music has dominated its roster. “We work with artists and labels from Mexico to Central and South America, Puerto Rico, Spain, the Santo Domingo, and other continents and countries.  Music is universal, and so are our efforts,” said Armada.
ON TOP RECORDS has been distributed by Ingrooves (which is owned by Universal) for 16 years.

US/International Publishing and Licensing


Affiliation with ASCAP or BMI is a great start, but unfortunately it’s not enough. These two collection societies only collect one type of publishing royalty, called performance royalties, and they only collect for the U.S.A.   

The MUSIC SPECIALIST works with collection societies all around the world – over 60 countries and counting. Most importantly, we register your songs with both performance and mechanical collection societies to collect all royalty types. 

You may be famous in Australia and don’t even know it!
