Here for music and its makers 

Music wouldn't exist without the work of songwriters, composers and publishers. We're here to represent them and ensure that they are rewarded for their creations.

What we do

Welcome to PRS for Music

Honne performing live
We pay royalties to our members for the use of their work while protecting the future of music through partnerships, technology and influencing policy.
Several globes
We have representation agreements with societies in 100 countries so that our members can be paid for music use outside of the UK.

We license the use of our members' music by businesses, online, in broadcasts and film, for live performance and as recorded products.
