Navigating the music industry can be tough. We’re here to support your career with help, advice and guidance. We provide all of our members with access to mentoring, an extensive programme of events, a legal referral scheme, insurance cover and more.
WE FIGHT FOR YOUR RIGHTS
As a community, we are stronger together. We campaign internationally to protect the rights of music creators and fight to ensure they are treated fairly.
OUR CURRENT CAMPAIGNS
MEET FELLOW CREATORS
A career as a music creator can often mean working independently, without a network of colleagues close by. Our community and networking events allow for collaboration opportunities, advice sharing and support.
WE CELEBRATE YOUR TALENT
Our two flagship awards, The Ivors and The Ivors Classical Awards are the most important awards in the industry because they are judged and awarded by respected songwriters and composers. Winning an Ivor is the highest accolade in music for creators.
Our Awards
RAISE YOUR VOICE
Together, our voice is stronger. Become a member today.
