Usage Terms & Claims
Using My Music
Yes, you’re welcome to use my music in your videos. Credit me visibly, please don’t reupload it on its own, and reach out first if you’d like to use it in a larger project.
How to credit me
Please place this on-screen or in your description:
Feel free to link my YouTube channel instead, if you’d rather:
Quick rules
- Please keep credit visible, either on-screen or in the video description.
- Please don’t reupload my music.
- If you’d like to use the music in a larger project (games, apps, albums, releases), just ask first.
- My covers and arrangements are licensed through mechanical licenses, so YouTube may still auto-flag them from melody matching.
Content ID Claims
A claim is not a strike against your channel. It only affects monetization, it’s fully automated, and it wasn’t made by me. Dispute it and it should lift within a week.
Steps if you received a claim
- Check who claimed it. If it names Materia Music Publishing, FUGA, or one of my cover tracks, it’s an automated Content ID match. It was not manually made by me or my distributor.
- Dispute it in YouTube Studio using this statement:
- Give it 5 to 7 days. Most claims lift automatically, and monetization along with any held revenue should return.
- Or remove the audio. If you’d rather not wait, you’re welcome to use YouTube Studio’s tools to remove the matched audio.
Still stuck after a week?
If the claim names Materia Music Publishing, feel free to reach out to them directly.
Contact Materia Music Publishing
I’m sorry, but I’m not able to remove third-party claims that aren’t mine.
Why this happens
I license my covers legally through my label, so please don’t worry if you see a claim. Claims naming Materia Music Publishing or FUGA are automated Content ID matches, not manual claims from me.
Even if you didn’t use my recording, YouTube can still match the shared melody of a game piece. It’s worth disputing the claim; it should be resolved fairly quickly.
