The Ivors Academy is deeply concerned about how the collapse of Pledge Music might have affected creators who are owed money through the platform. Together with our Industry partners UK Music and the Council of Music Makers we are working to properly investigate the matter and to ensure that suitable action is taken.

We want to hear from members who have had funds withheld. If you have been affected please get in touch with us via email at memberservices@ivorsacademy.com. Further details about how members can lodge a claim will be issued as soon as there is clear information about the administrator.
