​

Even if your music is on Spotify, Pandora, Google Play, etc...An actual Human has to submit your shows and setlists to your PRO in order to get Performance Royalties.

 

The songs DO NOT need to be recorded or released yet.

​

If you play original music at bars, restaurants, and other venues you are allowed to submit your set-lists to a PRO (Performing Rights Organization) to claim royalties for performing your songs. These are the same organizations who track your Digital Royalties - song plays on the internet, television, and radio. 

​

The PRO pays roughly $1+ per song performed depending on the size of venue you performed. The money comes from the yearly fee that all venues must pay to have live music, karaoke, or jukeboxes.

 

Venues pay the same whether you claim your sets or not. Venues never know which bands claim royalties or not. 

​

There are 5 PROs in the United States: BMI, ASCAP, Alltrack, Global Music Rights, and SESAC. Other countries have their own companies.

​

The payouts vary and there are pros and cons for each. ASCAP cost $100, and BMI cost $75 to join. Alltrack is free, but new and small. The other PROs can only be joined by invitation.

​

​

Stop leaving money on the table. Learn to claim them for yourselves, or use someone like myself to do them for you. Call or text with any questions.
