What is Global Music Rights?
GMR is a performance rights organization that licenses the right of public performance in the musical works of our songwriters, composers, and publishers. GMR represents some of today’s most prominent and influential music creators in the public performance of their catalogs. According to U.S. copyright law, if your establishment is publicly performing music (e.g., through speakers, karaoke, live entertainment, DJs, or TVs) a license is required for such use.
Some of our clients include Harry Styles, Lizzo, Nicki Minaj, Bruno Mars, Bad Bunny, Pharrell Williams, and so many more. You can check out a full list of our catalog on our website at globalmusicrights.com. -
Why do I need to pay Global Music Rights if I already pay ASCAP, BMI, and SESAC?
Each PRO (ASCAP, BMI, SESAC, GMR) has a unique catalog of songwriters and artists they represent. Having a license with one gives you the right to publicly perform the compositions that PRO represents, but does not give you the rights to publicly perform the works represented by the other PROs.
