As our member, you will be paid royalties when your music is played abroad. We have a wide international network and we will serve and advise you as you build your international career.

ROYALTY PAYMENTS FROM ALL OVER THE WORLD

We have wide international partner networks and we will pay you royalties when your music is played abroad.

We have reciprocal representation agreements with about 70 foreign collective management organisations. Foreign collective management organisations collect royalties in their own country for the use of our members’ music and pay the royalties to Teosto.

OUT INTO THE WIDER WORLD THROUGH TEOSTO

Through Teosto, you are also part of the international music world as a music author. We have a worldwide partner network and we will make sure that you can work safely wherever your music is played.
