Protect your Rights: Perform at Licensed Venues

Performing in licensed venues ensures that the music creators receive fair compensation for their work, a process facilitated by SAMRO. SAMRO diligently collects license fees from venues and distributes them as royalties to its members. SAMRO license fees are distributed to members based on the music playlists received from these licensed venues.

How does SAMRO collect fees from licensed venues?

SAMRO enters into licensing agreements with venues such as concert halls, clubs, and event spaces. These venues pay SAMRO license fees for the right to perform copyrighted music publicly. SAMRO then distributes these license fees as royalties to its members.

What happens when one performs in an unlicensed venue?

Performing in an unlicensed venue can lead to missed opportunities for compensation of royalties. SAMRO may not have a licensing agreement with unlicensed venues, meaning the organisation cannot collect fees from them.

As a result, music creators may not receive royalties for the public performance of their musical works.

SAMRO calls unlicensed venues to get their SAMRO Music License today and support the South African music industry.

Artists, understand that there are A TON of other artists out here creating opportunities for themselves and the artists who invest the most into themselves get the most help. “Investing in yourself” doesn’t only mean you’re paying for things to get done, but it also means building the right relationships, developing additional skills to further your success, learning the business and staying consistent.

On the flip side, the artists, who constantly complain about why things aren’t going their way, are the artists that everyone wants to avoid.
