WHO WE ARE
about soundexchange
SoundExchange champions all creators so they can create.
As the premier music tech organization on a mission to power the future of music, SoundExchange was independently formed in 2003 to build a fairer, simpler, and more efficient music industry through technology, data, and advocacy. The only organization designated by the U.S. government to administer the Section 114 sound recording license, SoundExchange collects and distributes digital performance royalties on behalf of 600,000 creators and growing.
Through proprietary music tech solutions that turn data into accurate revenue, SoundExchange has paid more than $9 billion in distributions to date.
OUR AFFILIATES
Through its affiliates SXWorks and CMRRA, SoundExchange provides back-end administrative solutions and tools that make it easier for publishers to share data with other players in the industry and search for unpaid digital uses of their repertoire.
INTERNATIONAL PARTNERS






SoundExchange works with international partners in over 50 countries to collect performance royalties for artists when their music is played overseas.
