Get paid when you get played

If you are a featured recording artist or a sound recording copyright owner (SRCO), producer or creative contributor, you may have earned digital performance royalties for the use of sound recordings you own or on which you performed. Artists and SRCOs should register with SoundExchange as soon as possible, even if you’re a member of another performance rights organization, as only SoundExchange can provide digital royalties. Registration is fast and always free. Copyright holders and featured artists (generally, the most visible person, in print or image, on the physical package of a recording) are paid through SoundExchange. Session players and back-up musicians are paid from a separate royalty fund. No matter what part you played, click your category below to find out how to get paid.

  The Digital Performance Royalties Fund (DPR) was established to collect and distribute monies to non-featured musicians and non-featured vocalists pursuant to the DPRA (Digital Performance Rights Amendment) and DMCA (Digital Millennium Copyright Act). These acts require the allocation of 5% of compulsory license fees to non-featured performers, 2 1/2 % to non-featured musicians, and 2 1/2% to non-featured vocalists collected from various digital distributions of sound recordings. The first payments to the DPR were for the non-featured performers a share of the compulsory license fees collected from February, 1996 through March, 2000 from the cable and satellite subscription services. In addition to the ongoing payments from these sources, future revenue from the statutory rates collected for web-casting will be added to these payments.

Need to get Radio Spins?

Indie Artists Alliance has come up with the best and most affordable resource guide in America for getting college radio airplay for only $9.95

It’s a fact! Without the backing of a major record label, most Indie artists will never get airplay on mainstream radio. Why? Because in the big business of music, cash (for promotion) is king and struggling performers usually don’t have much.

However, that doesn’t mean there are no other exposure opportunities out there. One avenue for Indie artists to get their tunes spun on the airwaves is college radio.

There are hundreds of these stations in the United States looking for quality music to broadcast — in all genres. That doesn’t mean they will play everything that lands on their desk, but as a rule, college radio stations are open to giving new songs a chance if they believe they will appeal to their audience.

This guide not only lists most all stations, but also includes detailed and up-to-date contact information, as well as inside information about how to submit material.

“Radio play means more CD, digital media sales and gigs,” says Phil Peretz of Indie Artists Alliance, “We are driven to create new and unique ways for Indie Artists to succeed as our growing suite of products and services and are proud to announce the release of this guide.”

Along with submission tips, every state-by-state listing in the guide includes the genre’s of each station, as well as their address, main phone number, studio phone number, email address and contact person.

It also states what type of formats they prefer songs to be submitted in, such as CD’s, CD-Rs or mp3s.

If all that weren’t the bargain of the century, “Indie Artists’ Greatest Guide To Getting College Radio Play” also features in-depth articles and expert tips on writing an effective press release, constructing a compelling cover letter and guaranteed ways to attract a DJ or music director’s attention.

Contributors for the E-book include Peretz and Luanne Hunt, an entertainment journalist and public relations specialist, who has interviewed hundreds of music, television and sports personalities, including Ray Charles, Jon Bon Jovi, Loretta Lynn, Toby Keith, Wynonna Judd, Trisha Yearwood, Randy Travis, Jewel, and Jessica Simpson. Peretz is founder and President of Media Media, Inc. and Indie Artists Alliance.
