Make Music Your Business: Get Release Ready with PRS for Music and the Musicians’ Union

About the event

Explore the key steps to releasing and managing your music successfully and unlock the full potential of your creative works in this session with the Musicians’ Union and PRS for Music.  

The Musicians’ Union will break down: 

• How copyright law protects your work 
• The difference between Master Rights and Publishing Rights — and how they relate to PRS, MCPS and PPL 
• How record labels and music publishers make money — and how you can apply the same models independently 
• The performer permissions and artist agreements you need to release music legally. 

PRS will show you how to: 

• Get started as a PRS member and manage your online account 
• Register your works and ensure your metadata is accurate 
• Report live shows and track royalties 
• Use member tools and resources to support your growth. 

The session will end with a dedicated hour of networking, to help you connect with other creatives and build your local network.
