Managing your Canadian royalties and U.S. SoundExchange royalties

Presented by Sébastien Boucher, musician and one of Artisti’s director,  Maxime-Pierre Gazeau, Advisor, and  and Marc-André Racine, responsible for processing royalties from SoundExchange.

In this presentation, we will explain in detail the path of your performer’s royalties, from broadcasting your music on the radio or in public places, to paying your royalties in your bank account. We will discuss the difference in management between Canadian, international and American royalties paid by SoundExchange. This workshop will highlight in particular the significant gains recently obtained by Artisti and the advantages of entrusting us with the management of your royalties.
