Let’s break it down

Performance royalties are generated when your publishing copyrights are broadcast in public.

The key performance royalty income streams are Radio, TV, streaming & live performances.

Basic rule of thumb to remember: The more people who hear it, the more money it generates.

Mechanical royalties are generated when your music is reproduced, be that on CD, Vinyl, downloaded etc.

If a record label wants to release your music, they have to pay a license fee, to do so.

Mechanical Royalties become an essential income stream for artists who sell a significant amount of records.

A performance rights organization (PRO) and a music publisher are both entities involved in managing the rights and royalties of musical compositions, but they have distinct roles and responsibilities:

Each major territory has its own PRO. The UK has the PRS, Germany has GEMA, Norway has TONO, Sweden has STIM, America has ASCAP, BMI & SESAC etc.

Sentric is a publisher member of all of these different PROs around the world, so we take the relevant information needed about your songs and then register those copyrights with all these different PROs to make sure any money they collect for you in their territory gets back to your pockets as soon as possible.
