About the survey

This year’s survey will form a key part of UK Music’s annual economic report, This Is Music, which will be published this autumn.

Participation is open to anyone who is a full-time or part-time professional music creator (including artists, musicians, composers, songwriters, lyricists, singers, producers, engineers and DJs) and closes on Monday 20th May. 

Filling in the survey also enters you into a prize draw where you could win one of several great prizes: a £100 Amazon voucher, a £100 GAK music store voucher or a £100 PMT music store voucher.

The data is being collected on behalf of UK Music by AudienceNet. For more information on how your data will be handled, please see the statement at the top of the survey.
