Who we work with

We collaborate closely with other organisations to create a supportive environment for music makers and an efficient network for licensing music.

PRS Foundation

Supporting music creators since 2000, the PRS Foundation is the UK’s leading funder of new music and talent development across all genres. They support an exceptional range of new music activity and have invested more than £23.6 million in over 5,300 new music initiatives.

PRS Members' Fund

The PRS Members' Fund supports members and their dependents, offering financial support and advice in times of need. Over the last 10 years the Fund has awarded £6.27m in grants and loans, making a real difference for many members.

Music Recognition Technology

Music Recognition Technology (MRT) uses metadata to identify recorded music that is played or performed so that royalties are accurately paid to creators.

We work with DJMonitor to support tracking the use of music at venues and festivals:

We work with Soundmouse by Orfium to monitor TV and radio broadcasts globally:

ICE

ICE is a collaboration and partnership between PRS for Music, STIM and GEMA, which has resulted in the development of the world’s first integrated licensing and processing hub

PPL

PPL (Phonographic Performance Limited) is a separate organisation from PRS for Music, representing the rights of performers and record companies.

PPL PRS

PRS for Music and PPL, the UK’s two music collecting societies, joined forces to set up PPL PRS Ltd, a joint venture combining the two societies’ public performance licensing activities. PPL PRS Ltd launched the joint licence on 26 February 2018 and offers a single licence, called TheMusicLicence, on behalf of both PRS for Music and PPL, to play or perform music in public.
