If you're writing, recording, or performing original music, it's important to understand how music royalties work.
APRA AMCOS helps New Zealand songwriters, composers, and music publishers get paid when their music is used, performed, streamed, broadcast, or reproduced both in New Zealand and overseas.
Whether you're releasing your first single or building a long-term music career, understanding your rights and royalties is a key part of being an independent artist.
