GET PLAYED, GET PAID – AN INTRODUCTION TO PPL

Starting and sustaining a career in music can mean a lot of hard work, so understanding your revenue streams is vital for any self-releasing artist or indie label,  Whether it’s money from radio airplay, TV or your music being played in public places, we’ll be discussing how revenue flows back through to the performer and recording rightsholder. Roxanne Oak, Dance Music Relationship Manager at PPL will take you through some practical steps on how to best manage your repertoire and help ensure that you are fairly rewarded when your music is broadcast or played in public.

This session will cover:

• The difference between PPL and PRS for Music
• Using myPPL
• Searching for repertoire
• Rightsholder repertoire registration overview
• Performer claims overview
• Understanding your statement
• Q&A

Please submit your questions in advance to members@saffronmusic.co.uk

ACCESSIBILITY

Thanks to the generous support of PPL, access to this session is free for all women, trans and non-binary people who would like to attend.

Workshops are open to people worldwide, but will be running at 7.30 pm BST so please bear differences in time zone in mind. If you book a ticket but are unable to attend live, you will automatically be emailed a recording of the workshop(s) after the event.

We are committed to making our online events as accessible as possible. We have created a guidance document about this – Click here to view the accessibility document. Alternatively, please email us with any access requirements you may have.

GENDER POLICY

The gender imbalance in the music technology industry is well-recognised. While we are absolutely not ‘anti-men’, we see that a shorter-term solution is to provide fellowship and learning environments that are not dominated by the cisgender male perspective. Therefore, these workshops are intended for women, non-binary, trans and gender non-conforming people to attend. While we do not ban cisgender men from attending, we hope that they will respect that this event is not intended for them.
