NESYA - Publisher Royalties

Nesya is an emerging alternative pop artist who built her following the hard way: posting raw, self-produced tracks. The primary song in this catalog, "delulu," sat quietly on her 2023 debut EP, Never Truly Happy, until a fan video pushed it onto TikTok in 2024. It has since passed 42 million Spotify streams. She has kept releasing since, and remains an active artist.

Because this is a publishing catalog, the composition earns on more than one line. A mechanical royalty is paid when the song is streamed, downloaded, or sold physically. A performance royalty is paid separately when it is played in public, whether that is a stream, radio, or a live room.

Young as this catalog is, it is already showing signs of settling into a steady rate. The two most recent quarters landed within 5% of each other. A buyer steps in as the income finds its level, on a song still being discovered, behind an artist who is still making records.

Nesya is an emerging new-wave/post-punk pop artist from Lincoln, Nebraska. 

“Delulu” emerged as the project’s most visible cultural moment. In 2024, the track gained significant traction on short-form video platforms, where creator-led content—particularly viral TikTok clips—extended its reach well beyond its initial release window. That momentum translated into measurable platform performance, with the song reaching No. 8 on Spotify’s Viral US 50 and No. 23 on Billboard’s TikTok chart.

“Does Anybody Love Me” represents the EP’s most inward-facing moment, leaning into themes of loneliness and self-worth through direct, unguarded lyricism. “Us” completes the emotional arc of Never Truly Happy by shifting the focus from isolation to connection. Built around warmer instrumentation and layered vocals, the song reflects intimacy and mutual understanding.
