Maximize Your Music Royalties: The Importance of Affiliating with BMI or ASCAP

As a songwriter or producer, your music is your legacy and your income. Beyond streaming royalties, there’s a world of earnings potential through performance royalties — but accessing these funds starts with a crucial step: affiliating with a performance rights organization (PRO) such as BMI (Broadcast Music, Inc.) or ASCAP (American Society of Composers, Authors, and Publishers).

Why Affiliate with BMI or ASCAP?

1. Unlock Performance Royalties:

These organizations collect royalties on behalf of songwriters and publishers whenever music is played publicly - whether it's on the radio, at live venues, on television, or even streamed through services like Spotify in public settings. If you're not affiliated, you're potentially missing out on income every time your music is performed.

2. Protect Your Music:

BMI and ASCAP also serve as advocates for your rights, ensuring that your creations are protected under copyright law and that you are compensated appropriately.

3. Access Professional Resources:

Membership provides more than just royalties; it also offers career-enhancing tools, educational workshops, networking opportunities, and more, supporting your growth as a music professional.

Choosing Us as Your Publisher

If you decide to take your music career to the next level, partnering with us as your publisher is a strategic move. As your publisher, we handle the intricacies of music publishing and work tirelessly to promote your music, secure placements, and enhance your earnings. However, the first step in establishing this partnership and truly capitalizing on your music's potential is affiliating with either BMI or ASCAP.

Here’s how we support you once you’re affiliated:
