About the event
Releasing music today means being more than just creative – it means being business-savvy too.
Join PRS for Music and the Musicians’ Union for a practical session designed to help independent artists develop a solid understanding of how to manage their music and maximise their earnings.
As more artists take charge of their careers by creating, releasing, and managing their own music independently, building an understanding of how the music industry works is essential.
The MU 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
- 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
Whether you’re a songwriter, composer or producer, this workshop aims to help you turn your creativity into a sustainable, rewarding career.
