Behind the Scenes at Big Oats Music

Big Oats Music is an independent music company based in San Diego, California. Founded by music creators and enjoyers, we began as a hub for creative services like audio production, sound design, and cover art. Our mission has always been to support independent musicians with the tools and knowledge they need to move forward on their own terms. As the industry evolved, naturally we did too. This lead us to the creation of the Big Oats Royalty Hub, our in-house royalty collection and administration service. Today, Big Oats exists at the intersection of creativity and business, providing artists and writers with both the freedom to create and the structure to get paid.

Our mission is simple - Help artists get paid.
