We exist to simplify the music licensing process, offering a single music licence that covers both the copyright on the music (owned by the songwriter) and the recording (owned by the record company/artist). MRM provides efficient single music licences to music users providing legal access to use music in all its various form. We collect licence income and distribute this income as royalties to our member. This enables the creation of more music for you to enjoy.
We help music creators get paid for their work and give music users an easy way to legally play and copy music. Royalties keep the music coming and ensure the industry’s future. Music can be an extremely effective tool for your business, it’s creating the right ambiance, attracting and keeping the customer and so much more.
We licence organization to play, perform, copy, record or make available our members’ music. Without use business would have to contact thousands of songwriters, composers and music publisher would have to deal with thousands of request fro music user. Through licensing, we make this process simple and straightforward for both parties.
We’re committed to protecting the value of music and ensuring our members are represented. It’s why we’re fighting music piracy and tackling the changes that digital has brought to the industry.
