Paul Lorenz is a composer with 30 years inside the music industry — Abbey Road, the London Symphony Orchestra, and the major labels. Over that career his catalog has gathered more than 500 million streams.
He founded Artyfile to fix what he watched go wrong from the inside: composers paid a fraction of their worth, and creators renting music they could never truly own. Artyfile gives creators investment-grade music they own outright, and composers a real share of the upside.
He writes Artyfile’s guides on music licensing, sync rights, and music ownership — the practical, numbers-first explainers most libraries avoid.
“I spent 30 years inside the music industry and watched composers get paid fractions of their worth. Artyfile is the platform I wished existed: investment-grade music, owned outright, with composers who finally share in the upside.”
