Before you sign it, split it, release it, or trust it — understand it.

Entertainment attorney. Multi-platinum selling songwriter. Creator advocate.

Steve Grauberger brings a rare dual perspective to Protect The Song: the legal training of an attorney and the lived experience of a commercially successful songwriter. That combination matters because most creators do not need more abstract legal theory. They need someone who understands what happens in writing rooms, deal conversations, release planning, publishing questions, split disputes, producer issues, and the real-world pressure creators face when paper shows up fast.

Over more than 20 years as an attorney, Steve has helped countless artists and songwriters with contract, rights, and litigation matters. He also served as lead counsel in copyright infringement lawsuits against Napster, Microsoft, Yahoo!, and others.

The mission is simple: help indie artists, songwriters, producers, and managers understand what they are signing, what rights are at stake, and where the real red flags live — without drowning them in legalese.
